Self-assembling short peptides can offer an opportunity to make useful nano-/microstructures that find potential application in drug delivery. We report here the formation of multivesicular structures from self-assembling water-soluble synthetic amphiphilic dipeptides containing a glutamic acid residue at the C-terminus.
