Engineered and Designed Peptide-based Fibrous Biomaterials
2004
Our increasing understanding of peptide and protein folding and assembly raises new possibilities for engineering novel self-assembling supramolecular structures and bio-inspired materials. Here we focus on peptides designed de novo, and natural systems that have been engineered to form extended protein fibres. Potential applications of such assemblies include the preparation of functionalised biomaterials for the development of new diagnostic devices, scaffolds to recruit cells for cell/tissue engineering, and templates for the assembly of inorganic materials.
