ABSTRACT
In recent years the concept of molecular self-assembly has become
a driving force for the development of new biomaterials. Molecular
self-assembly is one of the twomain approaches to the production of
well-defined, functional nanostructures essential for the fast grow-
ing field of nanotechnology; in particular molecular self-assembly is
seen as the main bottom-up approach in nanoscience and nanotech-
nology. Many biomolecules undergo self-assembly from DNA double
helix annealing to lipid tubes development [1]; however, some of the
most diverse building blocks in terms of chemistry, nanostructure
formation, and functionality are peptides and proteins.
