Essentially based on self-assembly and self-organization and mimicking the strategies that occur in Nature, peptide materials have been developed to accomplish certain functions such as the creation of specific secondary structures (a- or 310-helices, b-turns, b-sheets, coiled coils) or biocompatible surfaces with predetermined properties. They also play a key role in the generation of hybrid materials e.g. as peptide-inorganic biomineralized systems and peptide\/polymer conjugates, producing smart materials for imaging, bioelectronics, biosensing and molecular recognition applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganized into four sections, the book covers the fundamentals of peptide materials, peptide nanostructures, peptide conjugates and hybrid nanomaterials, and applications with chapters including:\u003c\/p\u003e  *Properties of peptide scaffolds in solution and on solid substrates *Nanostructures, peptide assembly, and peptide nanostructure design *Soft spherical structures obtained from amphiphilic peptides and peptide-polymer hybrids *Functionalization of carbon nanotubes with peptides *Adsorption of peptides on metal and oxide surfaces *Peptide applications including tissue engineering, molecular switches, peptide drugs and drug delivery  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeptide Materials: From Nanostructures to Applications\u003c\/i\u003e gives a truly interdisciplinary review, and should appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedicine and engineering as well as researchers in biomaterials and bio-inspired smart materials.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203972653207,"sku":"9781119953739","price":11297.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781119953739.webp?v=1767668504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/peptide-materials-from-nanostuctures-to-applications-9781119953739","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
