Scheme 1. (A) Chemical structures of the carbohydrate amphiphiles (1) and the peptide analogue Fmoc-FF (2). (B) Schematic representation of the assembly of the individual components (1) and (2) in water resulting in the formation of micelles and nanotapes, respectively. (C) Co-assembly of (1) and (2) to form carbohydrate functionalized peptide nanotapes and supramolecular hydrogels. Green dots represent divalent cations.
