Divalent metal ion modulation of a simple peptide-based hydrogel: self-assembly and viscoelastic properties
Tsuimy Shao, Meissam Noroozifar, Heinz‐Bernhard Kraatz
Abstract
Heating and sonication of peptide conjugate C 14 -FH(Trt)-OH self-assembles into a supramolecular hydrogel, that forms a weaker and more porous gel state with the addition of divalent metal ions.
