A hydrophilic cyclic tetra-β-peptide having guanine at the side chain (CPG) was synthesized to construct a four-peptide-nanotube bundle with the formation of guanine quadruplex (G-quartet). CPG was so soluble in water that molecular association of CPG was very limited in water. However, in the presence of potassium io…

Abstract A novel fractionation method was developed to characterize nanocellulose in terms of particle size. The fractionation device ues screens or membranes with known size. The scale is in the range of micro to nano, so that NFCs can be size- or shapefractionated accordingly. The procedure is somewhat analogaus to…
