Supramolecular Threading of Peptide Hydrogel Fibrils [PDF]
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2018 There is an increasing demand for biocompatible materials in biomedical applications. Herein, we report a modified α-helical decapeptide segment from the cardiac troponin C, which self-assembles into fibers with a secondary β-sheet structure. These fibers cross-link via a novel supramolecular threading mechanism which results in an atypical stiff ...

Peptide conjugate hydrogelators [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2010 Molecular gelators are currently receiving a great deal of attention. These are small molecules which, under the appropriate conditions, assemble in solution to, in the majority of cases, give long fibrillar structures which entangle to form a three-dimensional network. This immobilises the solvent, resulting in a gel.
