Abstract/Summary

It has come to our attention that some of our cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) images actually show ice contamination, 1 instead of the soft matter aggregates originally indicated in our publication. The images only relate to counterexample peptoid sequences that did not properly assemble (originally Figures 3D-K and S5E-G, I-M, and P). As such, our main finding of an ultrashort water-soluble tripeptoid assembling into ordered nanofibers is not changed. Our overall conclusions based on complementary cryo-EM, DLS, CAC, and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements are also unaffected.
