Pentagonal conjugates of tryptophane zipper-forming peptide (CKTWTWTE) with a pentaazacyclopentadecane core (Pentagonal-Gly-Trpzip and Pentagonal-Ala-Trpzip) were synthesized and their self-assembling behaviors were investigated in water. Pentagonal-Gly-Trpzip self-assembled into nanofibers with the width of about 5 nm in neutral water (pH 7) via formation of tryptophane zipper, which irreversibly converted to nanoribbons by heating. In contrast, Pentagonal-Ala-Trpzip formed irregular aggregates in water.
合成了具有五氮杂环十五烷核心的色氨酸拉链形成肽(CKTWTWTE)的五边形共轭物(五边形-Gly-Trpzip和五边形-Ala-Trpzip),并研究了它们在水中的自组装行为。五边形-Gly-Trpzip在中性水(pH 7)中通过形成色氨酸拉链自组装成宽度约为5 nm的纳米纤维,通过加热不可逆地转变为纳米带。相比之下,五边形-Ala-Trpzip在水中形成不规则聚集体。
