Peptide Nano-Chemistry and Nanotechnology: From Molecular Design, Self-Assembly, Biomimetic Synthesis to Applications

This book presents the progress in functional peptides in the fields of nano-chemistry and nanotechnology. It covers the synthesis and properties of peptides, functionalization and hybridization of peptides, and applications of peptide-based nanomaterials. The first section provides an overview of the self-assembly of designed peptides to 1D, 2D, and 3D nanostructures. This is followed by the introduction of the hybridization of peptides with polymers, nanoparticles, carbon materials, and 2...
