| Abstract |
Self-assembly of aromatic peptide amphiphiles is known to be driven by a combination of π-π stacking of the aromatic moieties and hydrogen bonding between the peptide backbones, with possible stabilisation from the amino acid side chains. Phenylalanine-based Fmoc-dipeptides have previously been reported for their characteristic apparent pKa transitions, which were shown to coincide with significant structural and morphological changes that were peptide sequence dependent. Here, phenylalanine was replaced by leucine and the effect on the self-assembling behaviour of Fmoc-dipeptides was measured using potentiometry, fluorescence and infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray scattering and shear rheometry. This study provides additional cues towards the elucidation of the sequence-structure relationship in self-assembling aromatic peptide amphiphiles. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2017.
All research outputs
#4,884,834
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from The European Physical Journal E
#154
of 650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#44,309
of 209,174 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The European Physical Journal E
#5
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 209,174 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
