Modular Design of Self-Assembling Peptide-Based Nanotubes.
An ability to design peptide-based nanotubes (PNTs) rationally with defined and mutable internal channels would advance understanding of peptide self-assembly, and present new biomaterials for nanotechnology and medicine. PNTs have been made from Fmoc dipeptides, cyclic peptides, and lock-washer helical bundles. Here we show that blunt-ended α-helical barrels, that is, preassembled bundles of α...
متن کاملDynamic behaviors of lipid-like self-assembling peptide A6D and A6K nanotubes.
Nanoscience and nanotechnology require development of nanomaterials that are amiable for molecular design from bottom up. Molecular designer self-assembling peptides are one of such nanomaterials that will become increasingly important for the endeavor. Peptides have not only been used in all aspects of biomedical and pharmaceutical research and medical products, but also have had enormous impa...
متن کاملLipid-like Self-Assembling Peptide Nanovesicles for Drug Delivery
Amphiphilic self-assembling peptides are functional materials, which, depending on the amino acid sequence, the peptide length, and the physicochemical conditions, form a variety of nanostructures including nanovesicles, nanotubes, and nanovalves. We designed lipid-like peptides with an aspartic acid or lysine hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail composed of six alanines (i.e., ac-A6K-CONH2,...
متن کاملDNA-directed self-assembling of carbon nanotubes.
Multicomponent structures were constructed by DNA-directed self-assembling of multiple carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles. The work presented here represents an important advance in constructing many multicomponent nanotube structures for multifunctional material and device applications.
