Designer nanomaterials using chiral self-assembling peptide systems and their emerging benefit for society. Such a peptide-based structure holds promise as a building block for next-generation nanostructured biomaterials. In their collective morphology, the assemblies are integrated into a network with hydrogel characteristics. All these characteristics remained unaltered for the investigated period of almost three months. Solution X-ray scattering data revealed a marked 2-layered internal organization. This architecture is characterized by a tight intertwisting of two individual helices, resulting in a periodic pitch size over their total lengths of several hundred nanometers. While tracking its concentration-dependent morphologies, we observed elongated bilayered single tapes at the beginning of the assembly process, which further developed into novel double-helix-like superstructures at high concentrations. Here, we present the unique structure of a cone-shaped amphiphilic designer peptide. Hierarchical self-assembly is a fundamental principle in nature, which gives rise to astonishing supramolecular architectures that are an inspiration for the development of innovative materials in nanotechnology.
