Metal Ion Addition and Solvent Exchange Approaches to ECF-5 Peptide Hydrogel Formation for Enhanced Biomedical Applications

To begin, prepare an ECF-5 self-assembling peptide solution at a concentration of 10 milligrams per milliliter using a suitable buffer. Sonicate the mixture to dissolve the peptide, and store it at four degrees Celsius. Prepare a 50 milligrams per
