Volume 21 Issue 10, October 2003

Quick-freeze/deep-etch transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of a solution of peptides that form peptide nanotubes. There are also vesicles budding off of a nanotube and micelles in the area. Peptide nanotubes may provide new biomaterials for materials science and biology research (see Zhang, p. 1171). Peptide nanotubes prepared by Sylvain Vauthey and Steve Santoso. Artwork rendered by Erin Boyle.
