Fmoc-diphenylalanine-based hydrogels as a potential carrier for drug delivery
e-Polymers, 2020 High concentrations of IDM drugs can be incorporated into hydrogels during the self-assembly of Fmoc-FF. Small amounts of PAMAM added to the hydrogel (Fmoc-FF 0.5%–IDM 0.5%–PAMAM 0.03%) resulted in more prolonged IDM release when compared with Fmoc-FF 0 ...

Poly(acrylic acid)/Dipeptide Double-Network Hydrogel to Achieve a Highly Stretchable Strain Sensor
Chemosensors, 2022 Flexible and stretchable strain sensors can be applied for human health monitoring and disease diagnoses via the output of multiple biophysical signals. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate short-peptide-based strain sensors. Here, we prepared a

Hierarchical self-assembly of di-, tri- and tetraphenylalanine peptides capped with two fluorenyl functionalities: from polymorphs to dendrites [PDF]
, 2016 Homopeptides with 2, 3 and 4 phenylalanine (Phe) residues and capped with fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl and fluorenylmethyl esters at the N-terminus and C-terminus, respectively, have been synthesized to examine their self-assembly capabilities.

Self-assembly of diphenylalanine with preclick components as capping groups [PDF]
, 2017 Alkyne and azide, which are commonly used in the cycloaddition reaction recognized as “click chemistry”, have been used as capping groups of two engineered diphenylalanine (FF) derivatives due to their ability to form weak intermolecular interactions (i ...
