“…Oligopeptides containing embedded π-conjugated subunits within the backbone have emerged as a valuable class of easily synthesized, biocompatible building blocks for triggerable self-assembly into micron-size β-sheet-like aggregates driven by hydrophobicity, π-stacking, and hydrogen bonding interactions. − Electronic delocalization between overlapping π-orbitals, proton transfer along hydrogen bonds, and potentially other more complex electronic effects endow the supramolecular aggregates with emergent optical and electronic properties including fluorescence, electron transport, and exciton migration that make them attractive candidates for bioelectronic applications such as photovoltaics, energy harvesting and transport, biosensors, transistors, and light-emitting diodes. ,− The chemical diversity of peptide sequences and conjugated core chemistriestogether with their water solubility, biocompatibility, and ease of synthesisrenders π-conjugated oligopeptides highly tunable building blocks that can be manipulated to control emergent structure and function. ,,,,− …”
