An important goal in supramolecular chemistry is to achieve controlled self-assembly of
molecules into well-defined nanostructures and the subsequent control over macroscopic …

Short peptides are uniquely versatile building blocks for self-assembly. Supramolecular
peptide assemblies can be used to construct functional hydrogel biomaterials—an attractive …

Multidomain peptides are a class of amphiphilic self-assembling peptides with a modular
ABA block motif in which the amphiphilic B block drives self-assembly while the flanking A …

In the last few years, a variety of self-assembling short peptides that consist exclusively of
simple amino acids have been designed and modified. These peptides exhibit self …

Progress in self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry has been directed toward
obtaining macromolecular assemblies with higher degrees of complexity, simulating the …

Self-assembling multidomain peptides have been shown to have desirable properties, such
as the ability to form hydrogels that rapidly recover following shear-thinning and the potential …

Self-assembled materials composed of β-sheet forming peptides hold promise as
therapeutics and novel biomaterials. This article focuses on the design and engineering of …

Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels have encountered increasing interest in the
recent years as scaffolds for 3D cell culture or for controlled drug delivery. One of the main …

A general peptide design is presented that links the pH-dependent intramolecular folding of
β-hairpin peptides to their propensity to self-assemble, affording hydrogels rich in β-sheet …

Peptide amphiphiles (PAs) previously designed in our laboratory are known to self-
assemble into nanofibers that exhibit bioactivity both in vitro and in vivo. Self-assembly can …
