buffer, the former peptide forms highly anisotropic fibrils which show local alignment, and the hydrogels show flow-aligning properties. In contrast, Fmoc-K(Boc)LV forms highly branched fibrils that produce isotropic hydrogels with a much higher modulus (G′ > 104 Pa), and lower concentration for hydrogel formation. The distinct self-assembled structures are ascribed to conformational differences, as
在
硼酸盐缓冲液和其他碱性溶液中,研究了两种Fmoc-三肽[Fmoc = N-(
芴基-9-甲氧羰基)]的自组装和
水凝胶化性质。在自组装性能的显着的差异,观察比较的Fmoc-VLK(BOC)与Fmoc-K(BOC)LV,既包含K保护由Ñ ε -叔-butyloxycarbonate(BOC)。在
硼酸盐缓冲液中,前一种肽形成高度各向异性的原纤维,该原纤维显示局部排列,而
水凝胶显示出流动排列特性。相反,Fmoc-K(Boc)LV形成高度支化的原纤维,这些原纤维产生具有更高模量的各向同性
水凝胶(G '> 10 4Pa),并降低形成
水凝胶的浓度。二级结构探针(CD,FTIR,拉曼光谱)和X射线衍射表明,不同的自组装结构具有构象差异。Fmoc-VLK(Boc)形成定义良好的β片,具有交叉的X射线X射线衍射图,而Fmoc-KLV(Boc)形成未定向的组件,具有多个堆叠的片。当反转三肽序列时,K和V残基的互
