All-atom numerical studies f self-assembly of Zwitterionic peptide amphiphiles
Article Abstract:
An approach based on all-atom empirical force fold calculations is applied to self-assemblies of Zwitterionic peptide amphiphiles possessing large dipoles in their hydrophilic headgroups. The conclusion states that the structure exhibits the tendency to curve around an axis parallel to the direction of the dipoles and the hydrogen bonds, forming a cylindrical micelle.

Phase diagram for assembly of biologically-active peptide amphiphiles
Article Abstract:
A phase diagram is constructed for self-assembling biologically active peptide amphiphiles. The changing solution conditions have resulted in phase transitions among these structures.
