SELF-ASSEMBLING PEPTIDE AND PEPTIDE GEL WITH HIGH STRENGTH

摘要

The present invention provides peptide gels having practically sufficient mechanical strength and self-organizing peptides capable of forming the peptide gels. The self-organizing peptide of the present invention comprises the amino acid sequence shown below. Amino acid sequence: a ₁ b ₁ c ₁ b ₂ a ₂ b ₃ db ₄ a ₃ b ₅ c ₂ b ₆ a ₄ (Wherein a _{1 to a4} are basic amino acid residues, b _{1 to} b ₆ are non-negatively polar amino acid residues and / or hydrophobic amino acid residues, at least five of which are hydrophobic amino acid residues; c ₁ and c ₂ are acidic amino acid residues and d is a hydrophobic amino acid residue)
