pH clock instructed transient supramolecular peptide amphiphile and its vesicular assembly

Abstract

A new strategy to construct a transient supramolecular peptide amphiphile (SPA) and its vesicular aggregates is displayed. The construction of the amphiphile is assisted by the ternary complexation of cucurbit[8]uril and pH responsive imine bond formation. The transient assembly follows a pH clock set by urea/urease and hydrolysis of glucono delta-lactone (GdL). The transient assembly can be repeated for several cycles through feeding the system with the fuel (urea).
