Peptide P 11 -4 (QQRFEWEFEQQ) was designed to self-assemble to form b-sheets and nematic gels in the pH range 5-7 at concentrations !12.6 mM in water. This self-assembly is reversibly controlled by adjusting the pH of the solvent. It can also self-assemble into gels in biological media. This togethe
## Abstract Amphiphilic Ξ²βsheet nanotapes based on the selfβassembly of 9mer and 7mer __de novo__ designed Ξ²βstrand peptides were studied in the dilute regime. The hydrophobic face of the tapes consisted predominantly of aliphatic (leucine) side chains, while the hydrophilic tape face contained pol
