A new type of soft vesicle-forming molecule: an amino acid derived guanidiniocarbonyl pyrrole carboxylate zwitterion.
The self-assembly of the l-alanine derived zwitterion 3 leads to the formation of soft vesicles in solution even though this surprisingly small molecule does not possess the classical amphiphilic features of other vesicle-forming monomers.
