Central residue chirality directs molecular packing and self-assembly of Val-Val-Ile tripeptides.

Short peptides are versatile building blocks for self-assembled biomaterials due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease of preparation. Most studies of short-peptide self-assembly involve aromatic residues such as phenylalanine or peptides containing terminal capping groups, where π-π interactions play a...
