The structure of nanotubes formed by diphenylalanine, the core recognition motif of Alzheimer's β-amyloid polypeptide
Literature Information
Carl Henrik Görbitz
Alzheimer's β-amyloid diphenylalanine motif has previously been shown to self-assemble into discrete and extraordinary stiff nanotubes; these nanotubes were initially thought to be distinct from the single crystal structure of diphenylalanine, but it is now shown that the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the nanotubes is identical to the simulated pattern for the single crystal structure, affording a new foundation for understanding and rationalizing the properties of this remarkable organic material.
