Right or left paradox : Homochiral, heterochiral and achiral peptide auxiliaries appended with naphthalenediimide (NDI, see figure) were employed to demonstrate chiral transcription. We report an interesting phenomenon coined as retentive helical memory. Remarkably, NDI–peptide conjugates were tuned into hierarchical 1D molecular assemblies of opposite helicity in case of homochiral peptide auxiliaries.
