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

Short synthetic peptide amphiphiles have recently been explored as effective
nanobiomaterials in applications ranging from controlled gene and drug release, skin care …

The self-assembly of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed. The review covers surfactant-like
peptides with amphiphilicity arising from the sequence of natural amino acids, and also …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

The last decade has witnessed a renaissance of peptides as drugs. This progress, together
with advances in the structural behavior of peptides, has attracted the interest of the …

The diversity of naturally occurring amino acids endows even a very short peptide with an
incredible range of sequences, nanostructures and properties. Short peptide sequences …

Molecular self-assembly is a multi-disciplinary field of research, with potential chemical and
biological applications. One of the main driving forces of self-assembly is molecular …

Many diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancers
cannot be treated effectively with current clinical therapy because of a significant reduction …

The abundant pigment-protein membrane complex photosystem-I (PS-I) is at the heart of the
Earth's energy cycle. It is the central molecule in the “Z-scheme” of photosynthesis …

Short, self-assembling peptides form a variety of stable nanostructures used for the rational
design of functional devices. Peptides serve as organic templates for conjugating …
