Various amphiphilic block polypeptides having aromatic groups at the C terminal of a Leu-based hydrophobic helical block, poly(sarcosine)-b-(l-Leu-Aib)6-ethylcarbazole, poly(sarcosine)-b-(d-Leu-Aib)6-naphthalimide, and poly(sarcosine)-b-(d-Leu-Aib)6-porphyrin, were synthesized and self-assembled in water. Molecular assemblies of distorted sheet, saddle-like sheet, and micelle were identified, which were different from the curved sheet of poly(sarcosine)-b-(l-Leu-Aib)6 without any aromatic groups, indicating that the attachment of the aromatic groups to the C terminal significantly influenced the morphology. Upon heating at 90 °C, vesicles were generated with the three amphiphilic polypeptides with aromatic groups as opposed to the nanotubes of poly(sarcosine)-b-(l-Leu-Aib)6. The precise observations of these vesicles by AFM revealed formation of monolayer for poly(sarcosine)-b-(l-Leu-Aib)6-ethylcarbazole and bilayers for poly(sarcosine)-b-(d-Leu-Aib)6-naphthalimide and poly(sarcosine)-b-(d-Leu-Aib)6-porph...
