This mini-review presents the structural investigations of the self-assembled peptide nanotubes using X-ray scattering techniques. As compared to electron microscopy, scattering methods enable studies of nanotubes in solution under the appropriate physicochemical conditions and probe their formation mechanism. In addition, a combination of X-ray scattering methods allow the elucidation of structural organization from the molecular scale to the dimension of nanotubes.
本综述介绍了利用X射线散射技术对自组装肽纳米管进行的结构研究。与电子显微镜相比,散射方法能够在适当的物理化学条件下研究溶液中的纳米管,并探究其形成机制。此外,X射线散射方法的结合能够阐明从分子尺度到纳米管尺寸的结构组织。
