Peptides have been extensively utilized to construct nanomaterials that display targeted
structure through hierarchical assembly. The self-assembly of both rationally designed …

Protein design has come of age, but how will it mature? In the 1980s and the 1990s, the
primary motivation for de novo protein design was to test our understanding of the …

To date, numerous inorganic nanocarriers have been explored for drug delivery systems
(DDSs). However, the clinical application of inorganic formulations has often been hindered …

Hydrogel actuators, capable of generating reversible deformation in response to external
stimulus, are widely considered as new emerging intelligent materials for applications in soft …

Photochromic materials have been widely used in various areas including data encryption,
biological imaging and anti-counterfeiting because of their excellent contrast …

Protein design is a valuable tool for understanding the fundamental factors that dictate
protein structure and function. The field of protein design has seen significant progress over …

Electric double layers form at electrode–electrolyte interfaces and often play defining roles in
governing electrochemical reaction rates and selectivity. While double layer formation has …

This tutorial review looks at the design rules that allow peptides to be exploited as building
blocks for the assembly of nanomaterials. These design rules are either derived by copying …

The misfolding of proteins and peptides potentially leads to a conformation transition from an
α-helix or random coil to β-sheet-rich fibril structures, which are associated with various …

This article explores recent advances in the design and engineering of materials wholly or
principally constructed from peptides. We focus on materials that are able to respond to …
