Self-assembling Venturi-like peptide nanotubes [PDF]

Nanoscale, 2017
We describe the design and synthesis of self-assembling peptide nanotubes that have an internal filter area and whose length and internal diameters, at the entrance and in the constricted area, are precisely controlled.

The interaction between self – assembling peptides and emodin and the controlled release of emodin from in-situ hydrogel

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2019
Ion-complementary self-assembling peptides have potential in delivering hydrophobic drugs. This study involved two self-assembling peptides, RADA16-I and RVDV16-I, of which RVDV16-I was a novel self-assembling peptide with different hydrophobic side ...

Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptides

Journal of Peptide Science, 2014
The self‐assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self‐assembly of lipopeptides, surfactant‐like peptides and amyloid peptides derived from the amyloid‐βpeptide. The influence of environmental variables such as pH and temperature on aggregate nanostructure is

Mechanical characteristics of beta sheet-forming peptide hydrogels are dependent on peptide sequence, concentration and buffer composition [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Self-assembling peptide hydrogels can be modified regarding their biodegradability, their chemical and mechanical properties and their nanofibrillar structure. Thus, self-assembling peptide hydrogels might be suitable scaffolds for regenerative therapies

Occurrence of Peptide-Peptide Interactions during the Purification of Self-Assembling Peptide f1-8 from a β-Lactoglobulin Tryptic Hydrolysate

Molecules, 2021
Self-assembling peptides have gained attention because of their nanotechnological applications. Previous work demonstrated that the self-assembling peptide f1-8 (Pf1-8) that is generated from the tryptic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin can form a hydrogel ...

Self‐Assembly of Tetraphenylalanine Peptides

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2015
AbstractThree different tetraphenylalanine (FFFF) based peptides that differ at the N‐ and C‐termini have been synthesized by using standard procedures to study their ability to form different nanoassemblies under a variety of conditions. The FFFF peptide assembles into nanotubes that show more structural imperfections at the surface than those formed ...

Peptide-Tetrapyrrole Supramolecular Self-Assemblies: State of the Art

Molecules, 2021
The covalent and noncovalent association of self-assembling peptides and tetrapyrroles was explored as a way to generate systems that mimic Nature’s functional supramolecular structures. Different types of peptides spontaneously assemble with porphyrins,

Self-Assembly of Short Elastin-like Amphiphilic Peptides: Effects of Temperature, Molecular Hydrophobicity and Charge Distribution

Molecules, 2019
A novel type of self-assembling peptides has been developed by introducing the basic elastomeric β-turn units of elastin protein into the amphiphilic peptide molecules.

Solvent modulation in peptide sub-microfibers obtained by solution blow spinning

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Peptides possess high chemical diversity at the amino acid sequence level, which further translates into versatile functions. Peptides with self-assembling properties can be processed into diverse formats giving rise to bio-based materials. Peptide-based

A Two-Piece Derivative of a Group I Intron RNA as a Platform for Designing Self-Assembling RNA Templates to Promote Peptide Ligation

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2012
Multicomponent RNA-peptide complexes are attractive from the viewpoint of artificial design of functional biomacromolecular systems. We have developed self-folding and self-assembling RNAs that serve as templates to assist chemical ligation between two ...
