Self-Assembly of Giant Peptide Nanobelts [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2009 Many alkylated peptide amphiphiles have been reported to self-assemble into cylindrical nanofibers with diameters on the order of a few nanometers and micrometer scale lengths; these nanostructures can be highly bioactive and are of great interest in many biomedical applications.

Chemical Reactions Directed Peptide Self-Assembly [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015 Fabrication of self-assembled nanostructures is one of the important aspects in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The study of self-assembled soft materials remains an area of interest due to their potential applications in biomedicine. The versatile properties of soft materials can be tuned using a bottom up approach of small molecules.

Peptide-directed self-assembly of hydrogels [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia, 2009 This review focuses on the self-assembly of macromolecules mediated by the biorecognition of peptide/protein domains. Structures forming alpha-helices and beta-sheets have been used to mediate self-assembly into hydrogels of peptides, reactive copolymers and peptide motifs, block copolymers, and graft copolymers.
