Silver(I)‐induced instant gelation of pyridine‐containing Fmoc‐ l ‐glutamate and its concentration‐dependent self‐assembly from nanotubes to nanofibers are investigated. The formed metallogel with nanostructure has remarkably enhanced antibacterial activities. Interestingly, the nanotube and nanofiber exhibit different antibacterial activities, and a corresponding antimicrobial mechanism is proposed.
