Fig. 7. Unique elongation/collapse behaviors of the peptide-type nanofibers during the oxime-exchange reaction.

Fig. 7

a Stochastic change of elongation velocity, (b) connection between nanofiber fragments, (c) formation of a branching nanofiber, (d) change of interacting lipid-type nanofiber to another, and (e) depolymerization. White and sky blue arrows show the tips of peptide-type nanofibers and a crosslinking point, respectively. The detailed location of each magnified image is shown in Supplementary Fig. 39. Scale bar: 2 µm. Green: NP-Alexa647, magenta: NBD-cycC6. Condition: [Ald-F(F)F] = 17.3 mM (0.80 wt%), [Phos-MecycC5] = 2.4 mM (0.15 wt%), [carboxymethoxylamine] = 20.8 mM (1.2 eq), [O-benzylhydroxylamine] = 69.2 mM (4.0 eq), [NP-Alexa647] = 4.0 µM, [NBD-cycC6] = 4.0 µM, 100 mM MES, pH 6.0, 30 °C.
