Tuning Delta b-Sheet Peptide Self-Assembly and Hydrogelation Behavior by Modification of Sequence Hydrophobicity and Aromaticity

Peptide self-assembly leading to cross- Delta *b amyloid structures is a widely studied phenomenon because of its role in amyloid pathology and the exploitation of amyloid as a functional biomaterial. The self-assembly process is governed by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, aromatic Delta *p-- Delta *...
