## Abstract A grazing‐incidence X‐ray‐diffraction (GIXD) study of the self‐assembly, on water, of nonracemic __γ__‐stearyl glutamic acid (pure or as a mixture with racemic or (__S__)‐1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐glycero‐3‐phosphoethanolamine (DPPE)) demonstrated a phase separation of the __α__‐amino acid amphip
