PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE-BASED BIOMATERIALS AND THE...

Solid-binding peptides have been used increasingly as molecular building blocks in
nanobiotechnology as they can direct the assembly and functionalisation of a diverse range of
materials and have the ability to regulate the synthesis of nanoparticles and complex
nanostructures. Nanostructured materials such as beta-sheet fibril-forming peptides and
-helical coiled coil systems have displayed many useful properties including
stimulus-responsiveness  modularity and multi-functionality  providing potential technological
applications in tissue engineering  antimicrobials  drug delivery and nanoscale electronics.
The current situation with respect to self-assembling peptides and bioactive matrices for
regenerative medicine are reviewed  as well as peptide-target modeling and an examination of
future prospects for peptides in these areas.
