Disassembling peptide-based fibres by switching the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance

Abstract

Amyloid-like model peptides, modified on the N-terminus with an alkyl tail and on the C-terminus with a PEG chain, yielded fibres that were susceptible to triggered disassembly by removal of the alkyl chain, which affected the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance.
