摘要
The special branch: The design of novel T-shaped peptides that coassemble with linear peptides to produce branched fibers is described (see picture). The bottom-up assembly of peptide-based nanostructures of this type holds promise for the development of novel scaffolds for applications in nanobiotechnology.
