Tuning Secondary Structure and Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Peptides
, 2016 Self-assembly is one of nature's mechanisms by which higher order structures are obtained. Two of the main driving forces for self-assembly, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding, are both present within amphiphilic peptides.
