These cyclic peptides have alternating D-and L-amino acids, which interact through intermolecular hydrogen bonding to form an array of self-assembled nanotubes with an internal diameter of 7-8 Å (Fig. 8.5 ). Peptide amphiphiles comprise of a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail that self-assemble in aqueous solution to form well-defined nanostructures like peptide bilayers, micelles, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanovesicles [64] [65] [66] . The topography of the self-assembled structures formed by two amphiphilic peptidolipids derived from the 31-35 residues of the amyloid beta peptide (C 18 -IIGLM-OH and C 18 -IIGLM-NH 2 ) was observed using this technique [99] .	./cache/cord-018401-josb16pi.txt	./txt/cord-018401-josb16pi.txt
