Supramolecular assemblies of simple tripeptides accelerate an asymmetric reaction, researchers have discovered. ‘These [tripeptides] self-assemble into fibrils, supramolecular structures that… speed up a Michael reaction,’ explains Armando Carlone, from University of L’Aquila, Italy, who led the study. Carlone’s group started studying organocatalysis a few years ago. ‘We were inspired by molecular machines and supramolecular structures, […]
