A generic model is presented for the self-assembly of chiral rod-like molecules and its applicability demonstrated by observations of the self-assembly behaviour of β-sheet-forming peptides. It is argued that the model also provides an explanation for the self-assembly behaviour of any chiral molecule that can undergo one-dimensional self-assembly. This generally leads to the formation of “hydrogels” or “organogels” which are believed to be comprised of three-dimensional networks of fibrils interconnected at fibre-like junctions.
