SELF-ASSEMBLY AND SUPRAMOLECULAR STRUCTURES

The self-assembly of peptides and peptide-conjugates has been the focus on this theme in the last years. Particular, special emphasis has been put in dendritic self-organized structures formed by short phenylalanine (Phe) derivatives and Phe-containing peptide-polymer conjugates. Peptides and conjugates are synthesized by the groups of Prof. Cativiela (University of Zaragoza) and Prof. Puiggalí (UPC), respectively.
