Lyotropic Liquid Crystals from Designed Helical β-Peptides.

The article presents a study, which introduces a new type of liquid crystals from designed helical β-peptides. Liquid crystals have been investigated for a variety of applications, such as display and sensing technologies. Also, the relationships between the β-peptide sequence and the capacity to fo...
