The second explores peptide gels as soft 3D matrices where NPs nucleation and growth occur in situ within a macroscopic yet nanostructured environment. This work illustrates how rational peptide design enables control over the structure and properties of peptide–AuNP materials.

The review examines two complementary strategies for templating gold nanoparticles with self-assembling peptides. The first relies on discrete supramolecular assemblies that act as nanoscale scaffolds, enabling precise organisation and chirality transfer.

Thrilled to share my first paper doi.org/10.1002/cbic... as corresponding author in #ChemBioChem @chemistryeurope.bsky.social. In this concept review we discuss how self-assembling peptides control gold nanoparticle nucleation growth and organisation.

Gold Nanoparticles Guided by Self‐Assembling Peptides: From Sequence to Superstructure

Self-assembling peptides act as versatile templates for gold nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis. Their organization into discrete nanostructures or hydrogels enables control over AuNP morphology and assem...

Metal Ions Trigger the Gelation of Cysteine‐Containing Peptide‐Appended Coordination Cages

Three FeII4L4 metal-organic cages were fabricated via a L−D−L-tripeptide ligand with different sequences. The cages could form gels triggered by coordinating thiol groups of peripheral peptides aroun...

Had a fantastic time in Glasgow for @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org on supramolecular gels, great to meet so many leaders in the field. Grateful to the organisers for the chance to present my work and to W.I.S.C. for the 1st Gen Travel Grant that made it possible!
