A comprehensive study on self-assembly and gelation of C13-dipeptides – from design strategies to functionalities

Computational and experimental methods were applied to investigate the self-assembly and gelation of C13-dipeptides. A modified aggregation propensity (APS) was introduced to correlate the effects of side chains of amino acids on the tendency to aggregate. From the experimental results, the ranges of 0.156
