Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to
use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array …

The transition of peptides and proteins from the solution phase into fibrillar structures is a
general phenomenon encountered in functional and aberrant biology and is increasingly …

Peptide self-assembly provides an innovative strategy for not only establishing an ideal
research model to understand life phenomena but also for constructing sophisticated …

The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

Self-assembly of molecules often results in new emerging properties. Even very short
peptides can self-assemble into structures with a variety of physical and structural …

Aqueous compatible supramolecular materials hold promise for applications in
environmental remediation, energy harvesting and biomedicine. One remaining challenge is …

The protein-only infectious agents known as prions exist within cellular matrices as
populations of assembled polypeptide phases ranging from particles to amyloid fibres …

Nature chose phosphates to activate amino acids, where reactive intermediates and
complex machinery drive the construction of polyamides. Outside of biology, the pathways …

Reactive crystallization is not new, but there has been recent growth in its use as a means of
improving performance and sustainability of industrial processes. This review examines …
