Supramolecular chiral self-assemblies of Gly-Pro dipeptides on metallic fcc(110) surfaces.

Adsorption of the Glycine-Proline (Gly-Pro) dipeptide has been investigated using surface science complementary techniques on Au(110) and Ag(110), showing some interesting differences both in the chemical form and surface organization of the adsorbed peptide. On Au(110), Gly-Pro mainly adsorbs in neutral form (COOH/NH
