Structural evolution of self-assembled cyclic-peptide hydrogels

Abstract: Cyclic peptides which can self-assemble into long nanotubes provide unique properties which can be tailored for a diverse range of biomedical applications. Recently, we have demonstrated these peptides can further self-assemble to form a hydrogel under ambient conditions. Hydrogels are very important systems in the biomedical industry as they provide unique properties allowing a wide-range in applications varying form wound care to a scaffold for cell culture. We have characterized these systems using several different techniques, but require the use of SANS to understand the fundamental processes governing their self-assembly, and testing how they behave under different biological conditions. By using this information we can design bespoke peptides, with highly tuned properties ideal for a broad and diverse range of applications.
