Abstract
- The article presents information on the lipid based nanotubes as functional architectures with embedded fluorescence and recognition capabilities. Soft nanotubular structures represent a potentially powerful architecture generated through self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules. Several classes of amphiphiles are known to provide these materials, including lipid-modified peptides, bola-amphiphiles and sugar-lipid conjugates. Substantial bending of the monomers is required, which arises from the meta orientation of the linker, along with un saturation of the alkyl chain.
