Thestructure of single wall peptide nanotubes is presented for themodel surfactant-like peptide A₆K. Capillary flow alignment of a samplein the nematic phase at high concentration in water leadsto oriented X-ray diffraction patterns. Analysis of these, accompanied bymolecular dynamics simulations, suggests the favourable self-assembly of antiparallel peptidedimers into beta
