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 …

Natural biomolecular systems have evolved to form a rich variety of supramolecular
materials and machinery fundamental to cellular function. The assembly of these structures …

Short peptides are ubiquitous in nature. They are found as hormones, pheromones,
antibacterial and antifungal agents in innate immunity systems, toxins, and pesticides. But …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

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 …

Peptide–and protein–nanoparticle conjugates have emerged as powerful tools for
biomedical applications, enabling the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of disease. In …

Self-assembly is the process of association of individual units of a material into highly
arranged/ordered structures/patterns. It imparts unique properties to both inorganic and …

The field of supramolecular chemistry and molecular self-assembly has entered a new
phase in which the use of chemical reactions to create out-of-equilibrium molecular …

Surfactants are molecules (ionic or nonionic) that upon adsorption at the air-water interface
reduce surface tension of water. Therefore, surfactants are surface-active agents …

In the last few decades, we have witnessed the great advances of molecular self-assembly
in biomedical applications. Among the building blocks for molecular self-assembly, peptide …
