Fig. 2. Hydrophobic packing of triblock (A and B) and diblock (C) peptide amphiphiles as mono- and bilayers, respectively. (A) Janus nanosheets obtained from peptides with segregated hydrophobic blocks (Phe6vs. C10), which favour parallel monomer alignment by Phe H-bonding and π–π stacking in two perpendicular axes.

Reprinted with permission from ref. 71. (C) Amphiphilic cyclic peptide with alternating (d/l) chirality with 2D self-assembly via inter-backbone axial H-bonding (3) and lateral Leu zippers between nanotubes (4).
