Unexpected Discovery Duplexes Containing Folded Strands

UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY DUPLEXES CONTAINING FOLDED STRANDS 

These observations suggested that strands 10 and 11 and strand 12 did not assemble into H bonded polymers as expected. Instead, they seemed to have formed highly stable, well-defined discrete species. Such a conclusion was confirmed by VPO and mass spectrometry measurements. VPO experiments showed that, in solution, 10 and 

DIRECTED ASSEMBLY FORMATION OF [8-SHEETS AND SUPRAMOLECULAR BLOCK COPOLYMERS 

Directed Assembly Templated Formation of Two-Stranded j8-Sheets 

When tethered to structural units that may associate in more than one way, an H bonded duplex template will help specify the intermolecular interaction, leading to a single assembly. The possibility of directing the association of namral peptide strands was tested by using our H bonded duplexes as templates.
