Supramolecular Engineering of biologically iNSpired peptide nanostructurEs
To date, the main efforts for the design of bioactive self-assembled 1D nanostructures have been focused on the use of static assemblies. The development of synthetic systems with inherently stimuli-responsive behavior will open new possibilities for the creation of artificial architectures that mimic the natural protein nanostructures found in eukaryotic cells, which are dynamic, and capable of rapid growth or disassembly to tune their properties, and thus adapt to the cell needs. SENSE aims to: 1) Define robust peptide-based building blocks, and implement stimuli-responsive interactions between them to engineer complex self-assembled responsive nanostructures. 2) Modify these dynamic…
