An important role of water in construction and destruction of the sheet structure in dipeptide aggregate

摘要

Water molecules affect construction and destruction of inclusion crystals of a simple dipeptide (1). In the presence of water, the inclusion crystals, which have a water-buried dipeptide sheet structure, are smoothly constructed from amorphous solid of 1. But, the sheet is thermally unstable than anhydrous one. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. [References: 13]
