Diphenylalanine self-assembly- kinetics, thermodynamics and its relevance to amyloidogenesis
Diphenylalanine (FF) is a dipeptide capable of self-assembly in aqueous solution into needle-like hollow micro- and nanocrystals that possess advantageous properties such as high stiffness and piezoelectricity and have emerged as attractive candidates for functional nanomaterials. In addition, …

Thermally Responsive Peptide Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
… by bioinspired materials such as peptides (diphenylalanine) to achieve monodispersed dual efficient such as drug carriers and hyperthermia. Thermally responsive core-shell materials with tubular and spherical morphologies without compromising the inner cores properties such as …

The principles of molecular gel formation
… molecular gelator, fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF). The nature of the gel transition, as well as the relationship between composition, dynamics, structural and mechanical properties are discussed within the framework of current soft matter theories. The experimental …

Formation and mechanics of self-assembled molecular gels
… a hydrophobic peptide – fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF). This thesis explores gels formed when water is added to Fmoc-FF dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). At high water concentrations, gels are formed at concentrations as low as 0.001%. We establish the gel line defining …

Amphiphilic Cell-Penetrating Peptides Containing Natural and Unnatural Amino Acids as Drug Delivery Tools and Antimicrobial Agents
… as positively charged residues and tryptophan or diphenylalanine as hydrophobic residues were synthesized. The synthesis was accomplished through the Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in the presence of HBTU and DIPEA. The side-chain protected linear peptides were cleaved from the resin and …

Directing the self-assembly of short peptide derivatives
… of the well-known self-assembling dipeptide diphenylalanine (FF) and its amidated derivative (FF-NH2) in a predominantly aqueous environment. We demonstrate that these molecules can form metastable hydrogels upon a combination of solvent switching and sonication of the dipeptide solutions. …
