Peptide foldamer-based self-assembled nanostructures containing cyclic beta-amino acids.Peptide soft materials belong to an emerging branch of materials sciences due to their growing importance as responsive materials in diagnostics, therapeutics, and biomedical applications. 
Peptide foldamer-based self-assembled nanostructures containing cyclic beta-amino acids
The diversity provided by easily modifiable peptide sequences can be further increased by introducing nonnatural amino acids such as cyclic β-amino acids, leading to the formation of foldamers.

Moreover, it is possible to combine peptide chains with other polymers, aromatic compounds, etc. to create hybrids with completely new properties and applications.

The peptides discussed here either contain exclusively β-amino acids or are α,β-peptides, and they undergo self-assembly by forming different interactions that lead to the creation of well-defined nanostructures.
