Together they're strong : Block copolypeptides containing poly(benzyl‐ L ‐threonine) and an α‐helical block are effective organogelators despite the high solubility of the constituent homopolymers. An unexpected conformational change in the first block, from random coil to β sheet, directs the assembly into stacked lamellae (see picture).
