Fig. 1: Assembly and characterizations of peptoid-based CA mimics.

A A proposed model showing the assembly of peptoids into CA-mimicking nanosheet or nanotube structures including different ligands (L) and side chain groups (R) used to design Pep1-19. B AFM images of assembled nanosheet or nanotube structures. In all cases, height profile was used. C Representative XRD results of Pep4, Pep4-Zn2+ and Pep5-Zn2+ nanosheets (left) and of Pep12, Pep12-Zn2+ nanotubes. The values above each peak are the corresponding lattice spacing values.
