The remarkable diversity of the self-assembly behavior of PEG–peptides is reviewed,
including self-assemblies formed by PEG–peptides with β-sheet and α-helical (coiled-coil) …

Advances in genetic engineering have led to the synthesis of protein-based block
copolymers with control of chemistry and molecular weight, resulting in unique physical and …

The use of small-angle scattering (SAS) in the study of self-assembly of peptides and
peptide conjugates (lipopeptides, polymer-peptide conjugates and others) is reviewed …

The design, construction, and preliminary characterization of a novel family of spider silk-like
block copolymers are described. The design was based on the assembly of individual spider …

Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)/silsesquioxane composite was prepared by in situ sol–gel
process. The structure of composite was characterized by solid state 31P and 29Si nuclear …

There has been great interest recently in peptide amphiphiles and block copolymers
containing biomimetic peptide sequences due to applications in bionanotechnology. We …

Genetically engineered spider silk‐like block copolymers were studied to determine the
influence of polyalanine domain size on secondary structure. The role of polyalanine block …

Biomaterials with improved biological features can be obtained by conjugating glycans to
nanostructured peptides. Creating peptide‐glycan chimeras requires superb …

The self-assembly of PEGylated peptides containing a modified sequence from the amyloid
β peptide, FFKLVFF, has been studied in aqueous solution. PEG molar masses PEG1k …

Phenylalanine‐based nanostructures have attracted the attention of the material science
community for their functional properties. These properties strongly depend on the hierarchic …
