Self-assembly of ultra-small micelles from amphiphilic lipopeptoids.

چکیده
Poly(N-substituted glycine) "peptoids" constitute a promising class of peptide-mimetic materials. We introduce the self-assembly of lipopeptoids into spherical micelles ca. 5 nm in diameter as well as larger assemblies by varying the peptoid sequence design. Our results point to design rules for the self-assembly of peptoid nanostructures, enabling the creation of stable, ultra-small peptidomimetic nanospheres.

متن کاملMorphological control and molecular recognition by bis-urea hydrogen bonding in micelles of amphiphilic tri-block copolymers.
Hydrogen bonding between urea groups of amphiphilic tri-block copolymers considerably affects their self-assembly in water, which results in a strong modification of morphology and viscosity of aqueous solutions; the hydrogen bonding motif in these amphiphilic copolymers allows molecular recognition of small molecules with complementary hydrogen bonding units.

We report on a ternary isothermal system consisting of a poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(propylene oxide) (PEO/PPO) amphiphilic block copolymer, “water”, and “oil” (where “water” and “oil” are selective solvents for the different blocks), which exhibits the richest structural polymorphism ever observed (in equilibrium) inmixtures containing amphiphiles (such as block copolymers, surfactants, or lipid...
متن کاملComplex micelles from the self-assembly of coil-rod-coil amphiphilic triblock copolymers in selective solvents
We report an extensive simulation study on the spontaneous formation of complex micelles from coilrod-coil amphiphilic triblock copolymers in dilute solution resulting from solvent selectivity. The amphiphilic molecule is built from one hydrophilic block on each side and a hydrophobic block in the middle. The rigidity of the rod block is introduced by adding a bond-bending potential of the angl...
