Peptide Materials, 2nd Edition

Peptide Power: Building Blocks for Advanced Materials

Peptides, the fundamental components of nature, possess diverse sequences and structures that enrich materials. They enable the creation of complex shapes, scaffolds, and chemical properties with customizable functionality. Based on self-assembly and self-organization, and inspired by natural processes, peptide materials have been developed to achieve specific functions, such as creating particular secondary structures (α- or 310…
