Abstract: This laboratory studied four systems involving molecular self- assembly during this project period. Each system will open a new avenue of research in developing novel applications for use in biomedical engineering and materials science. These systems include self-assembling oligopeptides that form stable beta sheets in water, peptides that form inter- and intramolecular self- assemblies, peptides that spontaneously assemble onto a surface to form monolayers, and peptides that condense and encapsulate DNA to facilitate highly efficient gene delivery.
