Abstract

Amphiphilic peptides with or without oligoethylene glycol (OEG) chains based on 3,4-bis(benzyloxy)benzoic-linked glutamide were designed and their self-assembly was investigated. It was found that the amphiphilic peptide 3 with OEG chains could not only form stable gels in a wide range of solvents, but also showed better solubility in solvents than those without OEG chains. Fibrillar and nanotube structures were found in the gels formed and the width of the fibres could be tuned with added water content. The UV-vis and XRD results suggested that the driving forces for the peptide self-assembly were mainly intermolecular π–π and hydrogen-bonding interactions. These results provide a deeper understanding of the self-assembly mechanism and size control of nanofibrils formed by an OEG-based amphiphilic peptide.
