摘要
An addition to the family: The introduction of β-amino acid residues into a modified amyloid β peptide fragment resulted in well-defined helical nanoribbons (see cryo-TEM image) comprising β strands mainly oriented perpendicular to the ribbon axis. The nanoribbons order into a flowaligning nematic phase at higher concentration. The β-strand nanoribbon structure is an addition to the known set of secondary structures adopted by β-peptides. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
