The chiral bilayer effect stabilizes micellar fibers
Open accessAbstract
Dihelical fibers several micrometers in length and gels were obtained by spontaneous aggregation of octyl L- and D-gluconamides. The single strands have the thickness of a bimolecular layer. No fibers are formed from the racemate. The tendency of the chiral amphiphiles to aggregate to very long fibers instead of three-dimensional crystals is rationalized with a “chiral bilayer effect”. This effect is caused by the slowness of rearrangements from tail-to-tail hydrophobic bilayers to crystals, in which the molecular sheets are arranged in a head-to-tail fashion. Thermograms which indicate slow rearrangements in ageing gels are also reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
