Nanostructural transition of a small peptide bolaamphiphile via molecular self-assembly is a challenging task. Here, we report the self-programmed morphological transformation from nanovesicles to nanofibers of a smart peptide bolaamphiphile in its self-assembling hydrogel state. The nanostructural transition occurs based on the structural continuity of the beta-sheet structures. Spectroscopic studies confirmed the different molecular arrangements of the two different nanostructures. Furthermore, the smart bolaamphiphile shows a dose-dependent cytotoxicity and cell-proliferation behaviour.
