title: Self-assembly of cyclic homo- and hetero-beta-peptides with cis- furanoid sugar amino acid and beta-hGly as building blocks.
abstract: The design, synthesis and characterization of a new class of peptide nanotubes, self-assembled from cyclic homo- and hetero-beta-peptides based on cis-furanoid sugar amino acid and beta-hGly residues are described; these results represent the expansion of the conformational pool of cis beta-sugar amino acids in the design of peptide nanotubes.
