The ECM is a very complex, heterogeneous mixture of proteins, peptides, and hormones, which has proven difficult to model in vitro. Currently, a number of model substrates and systems have been developed utilizing polymers, layer-by-layer methods, and self-assembled monolayers (…

Molecular self-assembly provides a simple and efficient route of constructing well-defined nanostructures which may serve as extra cellular matrix (ECM) mimics. This work focuses on two specific octapeptides: FEFEFKFK and FEFKFEFK (F: phenylalanine, E: glutamic acid, K: lysine) …
