Peptoids are a biomimetic polymer system that are synthesized by robots, and have the potential to one day make completely artificial proteins. Peptoids have many unique properties that bridge the gap between proteins and bulk polymers. Here we describe the discovery of amphiphilic peptoid 36mers of specific sequence that spontaneously assemble into extremely thin (3 nm) crystalline sheets in aqueous solution. These peptoid nanosheets are one of the thinnest two-dimensional organic crystalline materials known.

  • Well-produced graphics, but the tackiest possible music makes watching a chore.
