  • Self-assembled peptide-amphiphiles & self-assembled peptide nanofiber networks presenting multiple signals
    Publication number: 20050272662
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mixture of self-assembling peptide-amphiphiles with complementary charges whose design and function is patterned after proteins having biological functions. The oppositely charged peptide amphiphiles may be self-assembled by combining them in a charge equivalent ratio. Variations of structural peptide sequences in the oppositely charged peptide-amphiphiles enable the assembled nanofibers to exhibit two or more biologically relevant signals.
