Abstract
In the present manuscript, the luminescence and the self-assembly behavior of the two aromatic dipeptides having singular structure variable are investigated. The terminally protected dipeptides tryptophan-tyrosine (WYp ) and tryptophan-phenylalanine (WFp ) were synthesized using standard solution phase procedure. Significant solvatochromic effect was observed for both the dipeptidyl entities; while the influence was more pronounced in case of the WYp entity when compared to WFp . Interesting morphological variation was observed for WFp and WYp , wherein discrete and interconnected nanospheres were observed for the respective dipeptides. The results obtained signifies the influence of the singular structural variation on modulating the overall functional behavior of the short peptides motifs.
