RAPID FORMATION OF SUPRAMOLECULAR HYDROGELS BY SHORT PEPTIDE AND BIOACTIVE SMALL MOLECULES

摘要

Disclosed are a peptide capable of induced self-assembly by a bioactive molecule comprising a (i) hydrogelation-promoting amino acid sequence and (ii) an oligomerization sequence; compositions containing the peptide and, optionally, bioactive molecule; hydrogels formed thereby; and various methods of using the same
