Bioinspired Materials: Oligothiophene Versus β‐Sheet Peptide: Synthesis and Self‐Assembly of an Organic Semiconductor‐Peptide Hybrid (Adv. Mater. 16/2009)
Abstract:A fi rst representative of a novel class of bioinspired materials, a fully symmetric hybrid between an oligothiophene and a -sheet peptide, is introduced in work by Peter Bäuerle and co-workers on p. 1562. The conjugate can be synthesized via click-chemistry and employs a switch-peptide segment to gain control over the self-assembly motif of the peptide part.
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.
