My research, exploring peptide functionalization, focusing on self-assembly biofunctionalized fibers, hydrogels, and responsive separations. This video describe how ECF-5 peptides self-assembly in response to environmental changes and the process of generating peptide hydrogels. Compared to traditional polymer hydrogels, peptide hydrogels offer diversified biofunctions and superior biocompatibility, enhancing their potential in field like biomedical engineering and biomaterials.
Technological breakthroughs in this field focused on improving self-assembly performance and biofunctionalization. Our reagents include peptide hydrogels with non-natural amino acid, faster point chemical medication, and lutein-specific biofunctionalized peptides, thereby enhance their gel forming and biofunctional properties. Current peptide gel forming method have high experimental demands and a lack of universality.
Developing self-assembled hydrogel formation methods using common operations and reagents will better support the widespread application of peptide hydrogels. Using the ECF-5 peptide, we added phase three generalized and environmentally-responsible organization methods. This methods rotating the peptide surfaces properties.
We are aiding in the design other self-assembling peptide with the improved organization control.
