Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes: Designs for materials and biological applications
The construction of tubular structures of nanometric dimensions has a wide range of applications. One of the more powerful strategies toward this end is based in the self assembly of cyclic peptides. The combination of natural and non-natural amino acids allows the modification of the external and internal properties, while at the same time, the control over the internal diameter.
