Nanofibers Formed by Biological Molecular Components

These observations indicate that biologically important small molecules turn to building blocks for the functional nanoarchitectures. It should be emphasized that the chemical structure of components and combination of multiple interactions, van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interactions, coordination interactions, hydrogen bonds in addition to the long-ranged electrostatic interactions, determine the composition and molecular orientation in the heteromolecular nanoassembUes.
