Supramolecular gel formation and self-correction induced by aggregation-driven conformational changes

Abstract

The formation of self-assembled fibrillar networks by low molecular weight peptidomimetics containing a Pro-Val moiety is reported; insight into the aggregation mechanism is provided revealing that it is associated to an unfolding process and that a fibrillar network formed under kinetic control can self-correct into a thermodynamically stable one.
