Peptide Bionanomaterials: From Design to Application

Molecular self-assembly has been exploited by nature for developing the higher functional macromolecular structures of both the genome and proteome. Inspired by nature, there has been a surge of research, in the last two decades, for the molecular engineering of peptide-based self-assembling nanostructures, adopting the bottom-up design approach.

This book gives the reader an overview on the design rules for de novo self-assembling peptide and reviews the diverse range of bioinspired pepti...
