Peptoid nanotubes: an oligomer macrocycle that reversibly sequesters water viasingle-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations

A highly thermostable peptoid cyclo-octamer can reversibly accommodate and release water molecules from central channels formed by the macrocycles in a crystalline array. We report the first single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation for a peptidomimetic oligomer.
