Self-assembled biomolecular structures are the building blocks for bottom-up nanofabrication processes. Biomolecular assemblies are attractive because of their biocompatibility, physical and chemical stability, and ease in chemical modification. Aromatic peptide self-assembly is mediated by noncovalent intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction. Biomolecules organize to form well-ordered structures. For examples, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanospheres have already been reported. We demonstrated γ-amino acid self-assembled to well-ordered one-dimensional nanostructures that are nanobelts. This feature allows the approach for nanoscale devices, drug-delivery systems, and biosensors. Hence, this approach could be useful to many fields of science and promising for biological and electronic devices applications. |
