Hierarchical assembly of tryptophan zipper peptides into stress-relaxing bioactive hydrogels

Abstract Soft materials in nature are formed through reversible supramolecular assembly of biological polymers into dynamic hierarchical networks. Rational design has led to self-assembling peptides with structural similarities to natural materials. However, recreating the dynamic functional propert...
