Abstract

The charge of a peptide influences final assembled structures. It is important to consider not only global charge, but also local, such as that found on the terminal residues. This work investigates the change of peptide self-assembly through the selection of different amino acid sequences and by varying the local charge of the residues on the C- and N-termini.
