Supramolecular pentapeptide-based fullerene nanofibers: effect of molecular chirality

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jul 4;51(52):10506-9. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01991e.

Abstract

The supramolecular organization of new fullerene derivatives endowed with peptides as biomolecular templates affords ordered nanofibers of several micrometres length based on hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions.
