Chiral self-assembly of peptides: Toward the design of supramolecular polymers with enhanced chemical and biological functions

Chirality is one of the most important structural features in biological systems. Peptides, as a class of small biomolecules, can self-assemble into various chiral supramolecular polymers with unprecedented levels of diversity and complexity, which have practical ramifications in various fields from catalysis to sensing, optics, and biomedicine. In this review, we will focus on the chiral transfer during peptide self-assembly from the molecular...
