Fmoc-peptide gels for cell culture
Spontaneous formation of macroscopic hydrogels from small molecule building blocks via self-assembly is a powerful tool for the preparation of novel materials with well defined properties. Peptides are particularly interesting as building blocks for these materials. Self-assembled nanowires, fibres,...

| Summary: | Spontaneous formation of macroscopic hydrogels from small molecule building blocks via self-assembly is a powerful tool for the preparation of novel materials with well defined properties. Peptides are particularly interesting as building blocks for these materials. Self-assembled nanowires, fibres, sheets and tubes from peptide systems have all been described. |
