The substitution of a single amino acid with its enantiomer may lead to variations in self-assembled nanostructures and biological functions. In this study, we reported three novel heterochiral peptide hydrogels, Nap-GFFY (gel-1), Nap-GFFY (gel-2) and Nap-GFFY (gel-3), from Nap-GFFY the substitution of a single amino acid with its enantiomer. We found that the resulting hydrogels possessed diverse self-assembly behaviors and adjuvant activities.
