Co-assembly structures of racemic peptides and amino acids. (A) Model of MAX1/D-MAX1 in their co-assembled structure and model of pure MAX1 in its self-assembled structure.

(B) The co-assembly structure of L-Phe and D-Phe is totally different from the self-assembly structure of the pure enantiomers. Reproduced with permission from Bera et al. (2020).

(C) Mixing (PPG)10 and (DPDPG)10 drastically lowered the solubility and packing model of (PPG)10 self-assembled structure and (PPG)10/(DPDPG)10 co-assembled structure.
