Abstract: | Light-induced molecular piping of cyclic peptide nanotubes to form bent tubular structures is described. The process is based on the [4+4] photocycloaddition of anthracene moieties, whose structural changes derived from the interdigitated flat disposition of precursors to the corresponding cycloadduct moieties, induced the geometrical modifications in nanotubes packing that provokes their curvature. For this purpose, we designed a new class of cyclic peptide nanotubes formed by β- and α-amino acids. The presence of the former predisposes the peptide to stack in a parallel fashion with the β-residues aligned along the nanotube and the homogeneous distribution of anthracene pendants |
