Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have shown great potential as promising biomaterials. Peptides have the advantage of being intrinsically biocompatiblity. Peptides, as self-assembly building blocks, have been designed to have head/tail configuration. Since there is a great deal of interest in the precise control of process, novel building blocks significantly different from those having conventional head/tail configuration might provide ample opportunities for constructing elaborate, versatile, and smart nanostructures. Cyclic peptides, due to their constrained nature, are one of those self-assembly materials that have unique topological features compared to conventional linear figures. Another important building block that has special architecture is the facial amphiphiles. In facial amphiphiles, the hydrophilic/phobic groups are located on two opposite faces, rather than at two ends. |
