A Short Peptide Hydrogel with High Stiffness Induced by 310‐Helices to β‐Sheet Transition in Water

A Short Peptide Hydrogel with High Stiffness Induced by 310‐Helices to β‐Sheet Transition in Water

Abstract Biological gels generally require polymeric chains that produce long‐lived physical entanglements. Low molecular weight colloids offer an alternative to macromolecular gels, but often require ad‐hoc synthetic procedures. Here, a short biomimetic peptide composed of eight amino acid residues...
