It is common to switch between H<sub>2</sub>O and D<sub>2</sub>O when examining peptide-based systems, with the assumption being that there are no effects from this change. Here, we describe the effect of changing from H<sub>2</sub>O to D<sub>2</sub>O in a number of low-molecular-weight dipeptide-based gels. Gels are formed by decreasing the pH. In most cases, there is little difference in the structures formed at high pH, but this is not universally true. On lowering the pH, the kinetics of gel ...[more]
