Not a bad way 2 start the week! Grateful to the @RoySocChem for supporting my research through an Research Fund grant. This grant will support my project, "Chiral AuNPs templated by self-assembling peptides for antimicrobial response". Looking forward 2 developing this work.šŸ§Ŗ

Our review on peptide-based supramolecular cages is finally out in @ChemicalScience #diamond #openaccesšŸŽ‰ Thanks to Prof. Nitschke and Prof. Marchesan for their support, and to @xuhy0914 for the jolly collaboration. @ChemCambridge and @DSCF_UniTS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/artiā€¦

Peptide cages: bioinspired supramolecular architectures for next-generation applications

This review examines the design and synthesis of peptide-based supramolecular cages, highlighting the versatility and functional diversity achievable by incorporating small peptides as structural...

The review compares cages built entirely from peptides, where structure is encoded in the sequence, with hybrid architectures in which a pre-organised scaffold defines the shape and peptides add selectivity and responsiveness, highlighting opportunities across different fields.

The second explores peptide gels as soft 3D matrices where NPs nucleation and growth occur in situ within a macroscopic yet nanostructured environment. This work illustrates how rational peptide design enables control over the structure and properties of peptideā€“AuNP materials.

The review examines two complementary strategies for templating gold nanoparticles with self-assembling peptides. The first relies on discrete supramolecular assemblies that act as nanoscale scaffolds, enabling precise organisation and chirality transfer.

If youā€™d like to know more about the work I presented, carried out in collaboration with the Nitschke group at @ChemCambridge and the @MarchesanLab at @DSCF_UniTS, you can read our open-access paper here: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2024069ā€¦.

Metal Ions Trigger the Gelation of Cysteineā€Containing Peptideā€Appended Coordination Cages

Three FeII4L4 metal-organic cages were fabricated via a Lāˆ’Dāˆ’L-tripeptide ligand with different sequences. The cages could form gels triggered by coordinating thiol groups of peripheral peptides...
