Designer Self‐Assembling Peptide Materials for Diverse Applications

Abstract: Summary: Macromolecuar chemistry and polymer science have had an enormous impact in many areas of science, engineering, medicine and our daily life. It has not only changed our way of life forever, but also continuously to improve our living standard. Macromolecuar chemistry now also encompasses bioengineering, biomimetics, designer biological materials and nanobiotechnology. Here we summarize a few classes of short peptides that we discovered and invented with broad applications including 3D tissue cell cultu… Show more

“…Then hydrophobic interactions play an important role by excluding surrounding aqueous media between hydrophobic faces of neighboring peptides. β-sheet bilayers that results from parallel or anti-parallel alignment of peptides form fibrils via intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions [[10], [11], [12], [13]]. Despite the first generation of self-assembling peptides which associate into nanofibers, other hierarchical structural arrays including ribbons, tapes, fibrils can also be designed [3,[14], [15], [16]].…”

“…As an attractive property, these systems provide hydrogels with a high water content and structural integrity near to fibrocartilage. Repeating positive and negative l-amino acids that self-assemble into nanofibres through β-sheet interactions, are the other design of nonafibre scaffolds [159]. This material has been used to stimulate the growth of chondrocytes, and the fabrication of main hyaline cartilage markers by Liu et al [160].…”

“…It was initially suggested that β-sheet bilayers stack together via H-bonding and electrostatic interactions. 23,56,57 Recently, Cormier and his colleagues have investigated the hierarchy of RADA16-I (RADARADARADARADA) peptide nanofibers using high resolution techniques, i.e. solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction (Fig.…”
