In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

Unnatural helical peptidic foldamers have attracted considerable attention owing to their
unique folding behaviours, diverse artificial protein binding mechanisms, and promising …

Different classes of foldamers, which are synthetic oligomers that adopt well-defined
conformations in solution, have been the subject of extensive studies devoted to the …

We report a new class of β-peptide based hydrogel for neural tissue engineering. Our β-
peptide forms a network of nanofibres in aqueous solution, resulting in a stable hydrogel at …

Peptides comprised entirely of β-amino acids, or β-peptides, have attracted substantial
interest over the past 25 years due to their unique structural and chemical characteristics. β …

Self-assembly is a key guiding principle for the design of complex nanostructures.
Substituted beta oligoamides offer versatile building blocks that can have inherent folding …

Self-assembly is the spontaneous organization of small components into higher-order
structures facilitated by the collective balance of non-covalent interactions. Peptide-based …

Peptide self-assembly represents a powerful bottom-up approach to the fabrication of
nanomaterials. β3-Peptides are non-natural peptides composed entirely of β-amino acids …

β3-peptides consisting exclusively of β3-amino acids adopt a variety of non-natural helical
structures and can self-assemble into well-defined hierarchical structures by axial head-to …

A popular strategy to control cellular growth and differentiation is the employment of self-
assembling peptides as biomaterials. In this study we decorated ultrashort helical N …
