The crystal structure for AI contains somewhat disordered co-crystallized water molecules in a 1 1 ratio with dipeptide molecules (7 ). This corresponds to a maximum 8% water content within the crystal pores, although it may be noted that solvent content can vary depending upon recrystallization conditions. An AI sample was found to lose 2% of its weight after 5 days of exposure to 1.33 X 10 Pa (10" Torr), corresponding to 25% or more of the water residing within the pores, depending on the initial occupancy. Solvents within the dipeptide nanotubes can be removed (75,79), necessarily changing the hydrophobic interactions between solvent and peptide molecules. Crystal...
