Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00130a002

Bis-amide dicarboxylic acids derived from the condensation of malonic acid, 1,1- dimethylmalonic acid, 1,1-cyclopropane dicarboxylic acid, or maleic acid with L-phenylalanine, (L-Phe), are shown to supramolecularly self-assemble in aqueous solution. When
