*Average pairwise interaction energy of the BTAs with the closest neighbours in the self-assembled structure.
†Solvation term of ΔEint(accounting for closest neighbours only).
‡Number of persistent H-bonds per-BTA (Table 1) multiplied per two (each BTA interacts with two neighbours in the stacking).
§Number of persistent stacking H-bonds per-BTA multiplied for the typical energy value of a peptide H-bond in water (−1.58 kcal mol−1)37.
||Solvation energy accounting for all BTAs in the fibre.
