Construction of Active Self-Assembling Materials
This project focuses on the construction of active self-assembling materials using modified peptides. By incorporating specific modifications into peptide structures, we aim to enhance their self-assembling capabilities and introduce dynamic functionalities. Through this interdisciplinary approach, we advance the field of self-assembling materials and create innovative, programmable materials that can actively respond to and utilize both chemical and mechanical energy.
