Structure-activity effects in peptide self-assembly and gelation - Dendritic versus linear architectures.

ABSTRACT

We demonstrate that linear-dendritic shape-isomerism can have an impact on the gelation potential of peptides based on lysine, but the architectural effects can be inverted depending on the choice of functional groups, with the nature of these protecting groups dominating the gelation ability.
