Lanreotide | 365 | 244 | 243 | 20.7 (13) | 20.8 (26) | 119.0 | 377 |

Supramolecular and molecular parameters of the nanotubes formed by Lanreotide and its derivative in water. Supramolecular parameter: ahex is the hexagonal parameter (Fig. 5d) obtained by SAXS (Fig. 2c), ϕ is the diameter of the nanotubes (Fig. 5c) from SAXS (Fig. 2d), and d = ahex − ϕ/2 (see text). Molecular parameter calculated from the fiber diffraction X-ray pattern (Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, which is published as supporting information on the PNAS web site, www.pnas.org): i and j are the unit-cell vectors of the bidimensional curved crystal (Fig. 4e), γ is the (i, j) angle, and S is the surface of the unit cell. n and m are the number of filaments whose direction is along i and j, respectively, constituting a nanotube.
