A naphthalene-containing amino acid enables hydrogelation of a conjugate of nucleobase-saccharide-amino acids

摘要

Here we report the first example of a hydrogelator made of a conjugate of nucleobase-saccharide-amino acids by incorporating L-3-(2-naphthyl)-alanine to the conjugate, which illustrates a facile and effective method for generating bioactive and functional hydro-gelators from the basic biological building blocks.
