Evaluation of a Model Photo-Caged Dehydropeptide as a Stimuli-Responsive Supermolecular Hydrogel

Short peptides capped on the <i>N</i>-terminus with aromatic groups are often able to form supramolecular hydrogels, via self-assembly, in aqueous media. The rheological properties of these readily tunable hydrogels resemble those of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and therefore have pote...
