Cyclic D/L Peptide Nanotubes

This thesis describes studies of novel cyclic peptide nanomaterials. Specifically, this work explores different approaches to the construction of organic nanotubes using reversible and irreversible binding of peptide building-blocks. Structural characterisation of these nanomaterials was achieved using a wide range of experimental and theoretical methods. The findings presented in this thesis will further the development of peptide nanomaterials into complex, functional biomaterials.
