Antimicrobial Peptide Functionalized Mesoporous Hydrogels [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are seen as a promising replacement to conventional antibiotics for the prevention of skin wound infections. However, due to the short half-life of AMPs in biological environments, such as blood, their use in clinical applications has been limited.

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 ...
