Antibacterial and Cytocompatible pH-Responsive Peptide Hydrogel

Antibacterial and Cytocompatible pH-Responsive Peptide Hydrogel

A short peptide, FHHF-11, was designed to change stiffness as a function of pH due to changing degree of protonation of histidines. As pH changes in the physiologically relevant range, G′ was measured at 0 Pa (pH 6) and 50,000 Pa (pH 8). This peptide-based hydrogel is antimicrobial and cytocompatibl...
