A new family of isomeric tetrapeptides containing aromatic and polar amino acid residues that are able to form molecularhydrogels following a smooth change in pH is described. The hydrogels have been studied by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques showing that the peptide primary sequence has an enormous influence on the self‐assembly process. In particular, the formation of extended hydrophobic
