Endohedral peptide lining of a self-assembled molecular sphere to generate chirality-confined hollows
At the interior of a ca. 5 nm-sized self-assembled coordination sphere, 24 amino acids (or peptides) are lined to generate chiralityconfined protein-mimic cavities, whose structures are well-characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray analysis.
