Abstract: Basic solutions of tetrapeptides derived from L-aspartic acid diketopiperazines are shown to form microcapsules when acidified to pH 2.4. An initial structure-activity study clearly demonstrates that a very delicate balance exists between the tetrapeptides' structure and their ability to self-assemble. Scanning electron micrographs confirm that microcapsules and not solid microspheres are formed.
