Genetically Designed Peptide-Based Molecular Materials

ACS Nano, 2009
With recent developments of nanoscale engineering in the physical and chemical sciences and advances in molecular biology, molecular biomimetics is combining genetic tools and evolutionary approaches with synthetic nanoscale constructs to create a new hybrid methodology: genetically designed peptide-based molecular materials.

Multifunctional peptide fibrils for biomedical materials

Peptide Science, 2004
AbstractThe Ile‐Lys‐Val‐Ala‐Val (IKVAV) containing peptide, A208 (AASIKVAVSADR, mouse laminin α1 chain 2097–2108), was recently found to form amyloid‐like fibrils. Fibril formation is critical for its biological activities, including promotion of cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth.

New materials from proteins and peptides

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2012
In this review we highlight recent accomplishments in the design of materials from proteins and peptides. Examples include hydrogels made from aggregating designed β-hairpin peptides, whose physical properties respond to small changes in the amino acid composition of the peptide; materials that combine different segments of natural elastomeric proteins

Applications of Material-Binding Peptides: A Review

ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2022
Material-binding peptides (MBPs) are functionalized adhesive materials consisting of a few to several dozen amino acids. This affinity between MBPs and materials is regulated by multiple interactions, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, hydrophobic interactions, and π-π stacking.

Achieving regioselective materials binding using multidomain peptides

Nanoscale, 2022
The ability to integrate two disparate materials-binding domains into a single ligand to achieve regiospecific binding would be powerful to direct material assembly; however, this has proven challenging to achieve due to cross-materials binding.

Solution behavior of peptide and peptide-hybrid materials

2008
Peptide based and peptide hybrid materials represent two interesting and challenging classes of biomaterials. Both classes consist of and contain, respectively, one or more polypeptide blocks, endowing the resulting polymers with enhanced self-assembly properties, biocompatibility or novel characteristics.

Fundamentals of Peptide-Materials Interfaces

2014
The investigation of the binding, dynamics and properties of peptides adsorbed on inorganic surfaces is an inherently multidisciplinary endeavor. This chapter is primarily aimed at new researchers in this field, to introduce the basic concepts that span physical chemistry, surface science, structural biology, computational techniques, and materials ...
