The ability to develop a rational basis for the binding of inorganic materials to specific
binding sites within self‐assembling biological scaffolds has important applications in …

Many types of nano-and micro-structures are formed spontaneously through the self-
assembly of biomolecules in nature, but devising chemical strategies to create biomolecular …

Self‐assembly is a ubiquitous process in biology where it plays numerous important roles
and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Over the past …

Noncovalent interactions are the main driving force in the folding of proteins into a 3D
functional structure. Motivated by the wish to reveal the mechanisms of the associated self …

Self‐assembled structures obtained from organic molecules have shown great potential for
applications in a wide range of domains. In this context, short peptides prove to be a …

Abstract Peptides and proteins are the most diverse building blocks in biomolecular self-
assembly in terms of chemistry, nanostructure formation and functionality. Self-assembly is …

Synthetic materials that self-assemble with nanometer-scale features from polypeptides,[1–
3] oligopeptides,[4–6] cyclic peptides,[7] and peptide amphiphiles [8–10] may contribute to …

This tutorial review looks at the design rules that allow peptides to be exploited as building
blocks for the assembly of nanomaterials. These design rules are either derived by copying …

With recent developments of nanoscale engineering in the physical and chemical sciences
and advances in molecular biology, molecular biomimetics is combining genetic tools and …

Inspired by self-assembling peptides found in native proteins, deliberately designed
engineered peptides have shown outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradability, and …
