Formation of Closed-Cage Nanostructures by Self-Assembly of Aromatic Dipeptides
Abstract
We recently demonstrated that the diphenylalanine recognition motif of the Alzheimer's β-amyloid polypeptide self-assembles into ordered and discrete nanotubes. Here, we reveal that diphenylglycine, a highly similar analogue and the simplest aromatic peptide, forms spherical nanometric assemblies. As the nanotubes, the nanospheres assemble efficiently and have remarkable stability. The introduction of a thiol group into the diphenylalanine peptide alters its assembly from tubular to spherical particles similar to those formed by diphenylglycine. The formation of either nanotubes or closed-cages by fundamentally similar peptides is consistent with a two-dimensional layer closure, as described both for carbon and inorganic nanotubes and their corresponding buckminsterfullerene and fullerene-like structures.

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.
