Unveiling the Role of Capping Groups in Naphthalene N-Capped Dehydrodipeptide Hydrogels

Self-assembled peptide-based hydrogels are archetypical nanostructured materials with a plethora of foreseeable applications in nanomedicine and as biomaterials. N-protected di- and tri-peptides are effective minimalist (molecular) hydrogelators. Independent variation of the capping group, peptide s...
