Nanostructures fabricated from peptide self-assemblies are attracting increasing attention due to their possible applications in biology and nanotechnology.
The supramolecular self-assembly of peptides offers a promising avenue for both materials science and biological applications.
FF peptide mimetics with 1,4-butadiene and m-xylylenediamine spacers form stimuli-responsive gels in a wide range of solvents including methanol but the compound with m-diaminobenzene forms a water mediated duplex stabilized by π–π interactions.
This review summarizes the synthesis of peptide–inorganic nanomaterials with different dimensions based on biomimetic mineralization and their applications in sensing, biomedicine, chiral optics, and catalysis.
Self-aggregation of Boc-protected diphenylalanine towards the formation of architectures with morphology and structure highly dependent on the acetonitrile-water percentage.
