Abstract

A binary mixture of amphiphilic polypeptides with right- and left-handed helical blocks was self-assembled into a morphology of a nano round-bottom flask shape upon heat treatment. The tubulation occurred as a result of phase-separation into the tubule domain of the single component and the vesicle domain of the stereo-complex.
