Inversion of Supramolecular Chirality by Sonication-Induced Organogelation
Natural helical structures have inspired the formation of well-ordered peptide-based chiral nanostructures in vitro. These structures have drawn much attention owing to their diverse applications in the area of asymmetric catalysts, chiral photonic materials, and nanoplasmonics. The self-assembly of two enantiomeric fluorinated aromatic dipeptides into ordered chiral fibrillar nanostructures up...
متن کاملSequence Adaptive Peptide-Polysaccharide Nanostructures by Biocatalytic Self-Assembly.
Coassembly of peptides and polysaccharides can give rise to the formation of nanostructures with tunable morphologies. We show that in situ enzymatic exchange of a dipeptide sequence in aromatic peptide amphiphiles/polysaccharide coassemblies enables dynamic formation and degradation of different nanostructures depending on the nature of the polysaccharide present. This is achieved in a one-pot...
متن کاملTernary complexes of copper (II) involving dipeptides and aromatic amines: Effect of n-acidity of aromatic amines on the deprotonation of the peptide group in the ternary complex
Equilibrium constants have been measured potentiometrically for the mixed-ligand complexes, copper (U)-amines (A)-dipeptides (L). The aromatic amines (A) used are 5-nitro-l,lO-phenanthroline (Nphen), 2,2'-pyridyl benzimidazoline (pybz), 1,lO-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2'-pyridyl imidazoline (pyz). The dipeptides used are glycylglycine (gg), glycyl-l-alanine (ga) and glyeyl-l-Ieucine (gl), The ...
متن کاملPiezoelectricity and Ferroelectricity in Biomaterials: From Proteins to Self-assembled Peptide Nanotubes
Piezoelectricity is one of the common ferroelectric material properties, along with pyroelectricity, etc. There has been widespread observation of piezoelectric and ferroelectric phenomena in many biological systems and molecules, and these are referred to as biopiezoelectricity and bioferroelectricity. Investigations have been made of these properties in biological and organic macromolecular s...
متن کاملSelf-assembled nanoparticles based on modified cationic dipeptides and DNA: novel systems for gene delivery
BACKGROUND Gene therapy is most effective when delivery is both efficient and safe. However, it has often proven difficult to find a balance between efficiency and safety in case of viral or polymeric vectors for gene therapy. Peptide based delivery systems may be attractive alternatives but their relative instability to proteolysis is a major concern in realizing their potential application in...
