2D Crystal Engineering of Nanosheets Assembled from Helical Peptide Building Blocks

The successful integration of 2D nanomaterials into functional devices hinges on developing fabrication methods that afford hierarchical control across length scales of the entire assembly. We demonstrate structural control over a class of crystalline 2D nanosheets assembled from collagen triple helices. By lengthening the triple helix unit through sequential additions of Pro‐Hyp‐Gly triads, we achieved sub‐angstrom tuning over the 2D lattice....
