“…By introducing desired interactions such as H-bonds and charge compensation, highly ordered organizations can be created. [37,38] We synthesized Ac-K 6 -gA, a positively charged derivative of Ac-E 6 -gA, then mixed both materials together. In a series of TEM images, it was shown that instead of vesicles, multilamellar structures were generated from a molar ratio of 0.3 to 0.8.…”

Nanotechnology and its applications are strongly influenced by structures self-assembled from a variety of different materials. This review covers nanostructures, including micelles, rod-like micelles, fibers and peptide beads, self-assembled from de novo designed amphiphilic peptides. The latter are promising candidates for the development of nanoscale carrier systems because they are completely composed of amino acids. In addition to designing primary sequences, secondary structure and external parameters are also discussed with respect to their impact on self-assembly. Moreover, the assembly process itself is examined. Potential applications range from gene and drug delivery devices to diagnostics, thereby highlighting the versatility of the system.

“…However, occasionally such structures have been found to perform benign biological functions in living organisms, for example as a matrix material that facilitates surface-binding of Escherichia coli bacteria [2], or as a catalytic scaffold for the synthesis of melanin in human melanosomes [3]. Inspired by such potentially useful qualities, more recently, amyloid fibrils have been extensively investigated as functional materials that direct supra-molecular self-assembly [4][5][6], or serve as templates for, e.g. metal nanoparticles [7][8][9] and conjugated (poly)electrolytes [10][11][12][13][14].…”

We explore the lyotropic phase behaviour of dilute, aqueous amyloid fibril dispersions from hen egg white lysozyme with respect to protein and acid concentration in order to establish preparation protocols that provide homogeneous nematic phases. Such ordered dispersions are demonstrated to facilitate alignment of amyloid nanofibrils in thin solid films, which are utilised to structure conjugated (poly)electrolytes. In addition, the occurrence of ordered phases is found to be in good qualitative agreement with phase equilibria predicted for dispersions of rod-like particles.

“…We recently reported a simple method for fabricating n-type 1D nanostructures by the b-sheet assembly of dipeptide-NDI conjugates [8] into either helical nanofibers or twisted nanoribbons. [9] Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy experiments showed enhanced energy migration within these nanostructures.…”
