Amino acids and peptides intercalated in hydrated LDH. Example of modeled systems, showing how natural mixtures of a amino acids, b short, and c long peptides adsorb onto the LDH interlayers via their C-terminal. Colors are as follows: Mg, pink spheres; Al, gray spheres; Cl, blue spheres; O, red; H, white; N, blue; and backbone is represented with a yellow spline. For clarity water and H atoms on the amino acids are not shown
