In recent years, an interest in manmade or artificial bionanostructures, including peptide-based self-assembled nanostructures has been intense and is expected to escalate further. When appropriately designed, self-assembling peptide nanostructures can mimic the molecular recognition functions of natural proteins. We intend to develop artificial bionanostructures that can mimic or even have enhanced functional properties over the nanostructures of biological origin. Since the major driving force that underlies the formation of bionanostructures is a noncovalent self-assembly process, elaborately designed synthetic self-assembly building blocks should be one of the most suitable candidates for the construction of artificial bionanostructures. In this talk, our recent research efforts to develop all three-dimensional (3D x 3D) peptide assemblies with unusual morphologies and functions will be presented. |
