This review focuses on the self-assembly of macromolecules mediated by the biorecognition of peptide/protein domains. Structures forming a-helices and b-sheets have been used to mediate self-assembly into hydrogels of peptides, reactive copolymers and peptide motifs, block copolymers, and graft copo
## Abstract The selfโassembly of peptide YYKLVFFC based on a fragment of the amyloid beta (A__ฮฒ__) peptide, A__ฮฒ__16โ20, KLVFF has been studied in aqueous solution. The peptide is designed with multiple functional residues to examine the interplay between aromatic interactions and charge on the sel
