a) Illustration of hydrogel from self-assembling the coiled-coil proteins consisting of 230 amino acids, 84 of which make up the helix repeat and 90 of which make up the alanylglycine-rich repeat. b) Hydrogel from self-assembling diblock copolypeptide amphiphiles. c) b-hairpin hydrogelators. |
d) Phase behavior of aqueous solutions of peptide A and C as a function of pH. When equal quantities of A and C solution at pH 7.3 were mixed, hydrogel was obtained. e) The structure and proposed self-assembly of Fmoc-D-Ala-D-Ala hydrogelator. |
