Folding driven self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive peptide-hyaluronan hybrid hydrogel
Abstract Protein-metal ion interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can be utilized for controlling the self-assembly of complex supramolecular architectures and materials. Here, a tunable supramolecular hydrogel is described, obtained by self-assembly of a Zn2+-responsive peptide-hyaluronic acid h...
