Dehsorkhi, A., Castelletto, V. and Hamley, I. W. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4549-0926 (2014) Self-assembling amphiphilic peptides. Journal of Peptide Science, 20 (7). pp. 453-467. ISSN 1099-1387 doi: 10.1002/psc.2633

Abstract/Summary

The self-assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self-assembly of lipopeptides, surfactant-like peptides and amyloid peptides derived from the amyloid-β peptide. The influence of environmental variables such as pH and temperature on aggregate nanostructure is discussed. Enzyme-induced remodelling due to peptide cleavage and nanostructure control through photocleavage or photo-cross-linking are also considered. Lastly, selected applications of amphiphilic peptides in biomedicine and materials science are outlined.
