title: Chaperone gelator for the chiral self-assembly of all proteinogenic amino acids and their enantiomers.
abstract: A concept of a chaperone gelator that can assist non-gelator molecules to form gels is proposed. Such a new gelator was developed and found to tune all the proteinogenic l-amino acids, as well as their enantiomers into supramolecular gels.
