Conformational polymorphism was observed for the alternating cis-ACHC hexamer, where chemical exchange takes place between the major left-handed H10/12 helix and a minor folded conformation. The hydrophobically driven self-assembly was achieved for the cis-ACHC-containing helix which was observed as vesicles similar to 100 nm in diameter.}, journal = {Organic Letters}, volume = {12}, number = {23}, pages = {5584–5587}, address = {APPELLA DH, 1996, J AM CHEM SOC, V118, P13071}, issn = {1523-7060}, }
