Enzymatic reactions and noncovalent (ie, supramolecular) interactions are two fundamental
nongenetic attributes of life. Enzymatic noncovalent synthesis (ENS) refers to a process …

In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Aromatic peptide amphiphiles are gaining popularity as building blocks for the bottom-up
fabrication of nanomaterials, including gels. These materials combine the simplicity of small …

Molecular self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in nature and central to bottom-up
nanotechnology. In particular, the organization of peptide building blocks into ordered …

The self-assembly and structural and functional properties of peptide conjugates containing
bulky terminal aromatic substituents are reviewed with a particular focus on bioactivity …

Low molecular weight gels, or supramolecular gels, are formed when small molecules self-
assemble into fibrous structures. Above a critical concentration, the entanglement and cross …

The switching of two adjacent amino acids can lead to differences in how proteins fold thus
affecting their function. This effect has not been extensively explored in synthetic peptides in …

We report on a simple carbohydrate amphiphile able to self-assemble into nanofibers upon
enzymatic dephosphorylation. The self-assembly can be triggered by alkaline phosphatase …

Self-sorted supramolecular nanofibres—a multicomponent system that consists of several
types of fibre, each composed of distinct building units—play a crucial role in complex, well …
