Self-assembled peptide and protein amyloid nanostructures have traditionally been
considered only as pathological aggregates implicated in human neurodegenerative …

Aromatic peptide amphiphiles are gaining popularity as building blocks for the bottom-up
fabrication of nanomaterials, including gels. These materials combine the simplicity of small …

The self-assembly and structural and functional properties of peptide conjugates containing
bulky terminal aromatic substituents are reviewed with a particular focus on bioactivity …

This Minireview concerns recent advances in the design, synthesis, and application of low
molecular‐weight peptidic hydrogelators. The sequence‐specific combinations of amino …

Peptide based hydrogels have received much attention due to their potential biomedical
applications. The majority of the gel forming peptides present a β-sheet motif that is …

Life's diverse molecular functions are largely based on only a small number of highly
conserved building blocks–the twenty canonical amino acids. These building blocks are …

Self-assembled short peptides have intrigued scientists due to the convenience of synthesis,
good biocompatibility, low toxicity, inherent biodegradability and fast response to change in …

We report a series of short peptides possessing the sequence (FE) n or (EF) n and bearing l‐
proline at their N‐terminus that self‐assemble into high aspect ratio aggregates and …

Nature is an important inspirational source for scientists, and presents complex and elegant
examples of adaptive and intelligent systems created by self-assembly. Significant effort has …

Amyloids are proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in several diseases and also
in normal tissues (nails, spider net, silk). Aromatic amino acids are frequently found in …
