Abstract
A biomimetic approach has been used for the templated self-assembly of a helical poly(para-aryltriazole) foldamer. The solvophobic folding process yields helices that further self-assemble into long nanotubes (see picture; scale bar: 100 nm). Constructs of controlled length and chirality can be generated by applying a poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) scaffold at the appropriate assembly conditions, mimicking tobacco mosaic virus self-assembly.Entities:
