Functional bioinspired material have been developed by molecular self-assembly of a hydrophobic peptide. Two analogues peptides containing hydrophobic L-alanine, α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine deliver different supramolecular structure and...
We have designed and synthesized a series of FF peptide mimetic with conformationally rigid and flexible spacers to study the effect of spacers on their structure and self-assembly. The results...
The development of α,ε-hybrid peptide-stabilized
magnetic
nanoparticles and their application to fabricate a paper-based actuator
has been reported. From single-crystal diffraction analysis, the nitropeptide 2 has an extended structure with a trans geometry.
The one-pot in situ multiple oxidation–reduction reaction of
a synthetic nitropeptide solution in ammonium hydroxide and FeCl2 leads to the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
The reduction reaction replaces the nitro group with an amine group,
which finally acts as capping agent for the stabilization of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Paper-based soft magneto machines
with multivariant actuation modes such as contraction–expansion,
bending, and uplifting locomotion have been studied. The device has
potential as controllable paper-based soft robots.
Tryptophan-mediated photo cleavage of disulfide bonds and resulting defibrillation process has been demonstrated. A supramolecular fiber-like network structure arises due to the self-assembly of dibenzyloxycarbonyl-L-cystine by non-covalent interactions such as...
This study reports a simple protocol for the synthesis of ferrocene substituted benzoic acid and an efficient synthetic approach towards ferrocene appended peptide mimetic with a high reaction rate, yields...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
