A structurally self-assembled peptide nano-architecture by one-step electrospinning

Self-Assembled Peptide Architecture

A number of short peptides and larger proteins are able to self-assemble to form cross-b amyloid-like fibrils. These bsheet peptides have been increasingly explored as potentially useful bionanomaterials due to their propensity to spontaneously assemble to form large complex structures from simple monomers. An eight-residue fragment of the amyloidogenic Parkinson s disease related peptide a-syn...

One-step fabrication of self-assembled peptide thin films with highly dispersed noble metal nanoparticles.

Fabrication of organic thin films with highly dispersed inorganic nanoparticles is a very challenging topic. In this work, a new approach that combines electron-induced molecular self-assembly with simultaneous nanoparticle formation by room temperature electron reduction was developed to prepare peptide thin films with highly dispersed noble metal nanoparticles. Argon glow discharge was employ...

tissue regeneration through self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanofibers

introduction: in the present study, we hypothesized that a novel approach to promote vascularization would be to create injectable three dimensional (3-d) scaffolds within growth factor that enhance the sustained release of growth factor and induce the angiogenesis. material and methods: we demonstrate that a 3-d scaffold can be formed by mixing of peptide-amphiphile (pa) aqueous solution with ...

One Step Rapid Synthesis of Nano-Crystalline ZnO by Microwave-Assisted Solution Combustion Method

In this study nano-crystalline ZnO particles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solution combustion method. Zinc nitrate and urea were used as oxidizer and fuel, respectively. The effect of fuel to oxidizer (F/O) ratio on ZnO powder properties was investigated by using different urea/nitrate ratios. X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infra-red were used...
