Enzymatically-stable oxetane-based dipeptide hydrogels.
Low molecular weight gelators that are not easily degraded by enzymes have a range of potential applications. Here, we report new Fmoc-protected dipeptides in which the amide carbonyl group has been replaced by an oxetane ring. Remarkably one of these peptidomimetics, but not the corresponding dipeptide, is an effective gelator, forming hydrogels at a concentration of 3 mg mL-1. On assembly, th...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in self-assembled dipeptide hydrogels.
Energy transfer between a naphthalene-dipeptide and either a hosted dansyl acceptor or a co-assembling anthracene-dipeptide acceptor occurs on formation of a hydrogel by decreasing the pH.
متن کاملEnzymatically cross-linked hydrogels and their adhesive strength to biosurfaces.
OBJECTIVES To design an in-situ gelling hydrogel capable of solidifying rapidly under physiologic conditions into a hydrogel capable of adhering tissue surfaces together. DESIGN Multifunctional polymers containing covalently bound peptide substrates of transglutaminase were designed. EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE Enzyme cross-linked hydrogels were compared with commercial fibrin tissue adhesive. ...
متن کاملControlling the network type in self-assembled dipeptide hydrogels.
We show that the same low molecular weight gelator can form gels using three different methods. Gels were formed from a high pH solution either by adding a salt or by adding an acid; gels were also formed by adding water to a solution of the gelator in an organic solvent. The mechanical properties for the gels formed by the different methods are different from one another. We link this to the n...
متن کاملStimuli-Responsive Dipeptide-Protein Hydrogels through Schiff Base Coassembly.
Different from the conventional irreversible covalent conjugations, a simple and efficient dynamic Schiff base covalent assembly is developed to construct the stable and smart dipeptide-protein hydrogels under mild conditions. Diphenylalanine-hemoglobin hydrogel is chosen to investigate the gelation formation process and mechanism. It is found that such assembled dipeptide-protein hydrogels are...
