Between the sheets : A unique cross‐β‐peptide amphiphile assembly positions the acyl chain within the hydrophobic cross‐β laminate (see picture; acyl chain: red, peptide: gray, lysine: blue). The atomic‐level structure of the self‐assembled surface can also be systematically altered, opening the possibility to create a wide range of nanostructured biomaterials.
