A novel polypseudorotaxane composed of cyclic beta-peptide as bead component.
A polypseudorotaxane composed of cyclic hexamers of beta-glucosamino acid and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was constructed, where the beads were stacked unidirectionally together via hydrogen bonds to form a peptide nanotube.
