Peptide nanostructures formed by phenylalanine oligopeptides have attracted great attention lately due to their potential applications in nanotechnology.Recently experimental studies have reported that diphenylalanine(FF)-based peptides self-assembled into hollow nanovesicles and nanotubes, whereas the related triphenylalanine(FFF) peptides assembled into solid plate-like structures and nanospheres.The assembly mechanism and the detailed structural characteristics of FF/FFF nanostructures, as well as the molecular basis of structural differences between FF and FFF nanostructures remain poorly understood.
