Application of β-Folding Peptide Self-assembly in Biomedicine
The β-sheet peptides can be self-assembled to form different supramolecular solids. The supramolecular solid can be linked to a wide range of functional domains, for example, with cell adhesion sequences, signal domains, and vaccine epitopes to form complex nanostructures, which can be widely used in biomedical fields. In this paper, we mainly reviewed the self-assembly of peptides using β-folding secondary structure to form nanostructures, and discussed the application of nanostructures in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
