Controlled Assembly of Peptide Nanotubes Triggered by Enzymatic Activation of Self-Immolative Dendrimers

Timed release. An AB3 self‐immolative dendron has been used as a platform for the controlled release of peptide nanotubes. The enzyme penicillin G amidase triggers the release, and the self‐assembled peptide is simple diphenylalanine.
