Abstract

NH₂-(α,L-lysine)₅-COOH and SDS can self-assemble into nanodiscs or nanoribbons. We show that pH can regulate not only the diameter of nanodiscs but also the conversion between nanodiscs and nanoribbons. This system can be used as two different templates for fabricating platinum nanowires and nanodiscs.
