Popis: Matrices formed by self-assembly of amino acids and their derivatives are suitable for cell spreading, migration and proliferation, and widely used in tissue engineering and organ regeneration, due to the biological endogenous molecules and weak intermolecular forces. The self-assembly process is not only affected by dynamic and thermodynamic factors, but also the assembled space. In this work, capillary tubes with different diameters are chosen to mimic a confined environment and the effect of capillary space on the self-assembly behavior of Fmoc-amino acids with different oil-water partition coefficients (log
