In this issue of Chem, Marchesan and co-workers report the self-assembly of a series of homo- and heterochiral tripeptides in water. By investigating their ability to form hydrogels and determining the single-crystal structures, this study offers important insights into correlating molecular structures with the superstructures of the tripeptide assemblies.

过于拥挤而无法直截了当：异源三肽自组装的见解

在本期《化学》杂志中，Marchesan及其同事报道了水中的一系列同型和杂手性三肽的自组装。通过研究其形成水凝胶的能力并确定单晶结构，这项研究为将分子结构与三肽组装体的上层结构相关提供了重要的见识。
