aliphatic dipeptides, l-Leu-d-Xaa (Xaa = Ala, Val, Ile, Leu), in green solvents such as acetonitrile (MeCN) and buffered water at neutral pH. Interestingly, water plays a structuring role because at 1% v/v, it enables dipeptide self-assembly in MeCN to yield organogels, which then undergo transition towards crystals. Other organic solvents and oils were tested for gelation, and metastable gels were formed
这项工作描述了异手性脂肪族二肽l -Leu- d -Xaa(Xaa = Ala、Val、Ile、Leu)在乙腈 (MeCN) 等绿色溶剂和中性 pH 值缓冲水中的自组装行为。有趣的是,水起着结构化作用,因为在 1% v/v 时,它使二肽在 MeCN 中自组装产生有机凝胶,然后转变为晶体。测试了其他有机溶剂和油的凝胶作用,并且在四氢呋喃中形成了亚稳态凝胶,尽管肽浓度很高(80 mM)。单晶 X 射线衍射揭示了二肽在两亲层中的超分子堆积模式,这与报道的纯手性 Leu-Leu 的水通道或报道的纯手性 Leu-Val 和 Leu-Ile 的疏水柱相反。
