title: Inducing alignment of cyclic peptide nanotubes through the use of structured ionic liquids.
abstract: We describe a convenient route to the alignment of cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs). The key lies in the use of nanostructured ionic liquids. An ionic liquid supported membrane with orientated domains is demonstrated, leading to aligned CPNs within a solid membrane.
