Rational design and application of responsive |[alpha]|-helical peptide hydrogels
2009
Hydrogels are hydrated polymer networks with applications in biotechnology and medicine. When created from alpha-helical peptides with engineered peptide sequences, their formation mechanisms can be controlled, leading to diverse properties. For instance, those with hydrogen-bonded networks melt on heating, but those formed through hydrophobic interactions strengthen when warmed.
