Self-assembly of an <i>in silico</i> designed dipeptide derivative to obtain photo-responsive vesicles

Peptide materials, such as self-assembled peptide materials, are very important biomaterials. Driven by multiple interaction forces, peptide molecules can self-assemble into a variety of different macroscopic forms with different properties and functions. In recent years, the research on self-assembled peptides has made great progress from laboratory design to clinical application. This review focuses on the different morphologies, including nanoparticles, nanovesicles, nanotubes, nanofibers, and others, formed by self-assembled peptide. The mechanisms and applications of the morphology transformation are also discussed in this paper, and the future direction of self-assembled nanomaterials is envisioned.

Self-assembly of an in silico designed dipeptide derivative to obtain photo-responsive vesicles

Abstract: Vesicle structures assembled from short peptides are superb carriers for drug delivery. Modifying peptides with photo-responsive azobenzene (azo) moieties is expected to generate smart vesicles that could release cargos under...
