Abstract

Conformational analysis of γ-peptides composed of 4,4-gem-dimethyl γ-amino acids, their spontaneous self-assembly into nanofibrillar superstructures and remarkable thermoreversible gelation properties in various organic solvents are studied. This new generation of γ-peptides may serve as potential templates to design advanced biomaterials.
