A new approach based on solvent and surface effects was developed for controlling the self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide into microtubes and nanofibers. The HBD/HBA ability and surface tension may be major determinants in the formation of these peptide assemblies. Our results will lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in diphenylalanine self-assembly process.
