Enhanced Mechanical Rigidity of Hydrogels Formed From Enantiomeric Peptide Assemblies

Chirality can be used as a design tool to control the mechanical rigidity of hydrogels formed from self-assembling peptides. Hydrogels prepared from enantiomeric mixtures of self-assembling β-hairpins show non-additive, synergistic, enhancement in material rigidity compared to gels prepared from eit...
