Diphenylalanine (FF) is a very common peptide with many potential applications, both biological and technological, due to large number of different nanostructures which it attains. The current work concerns detailed study the self-assembled structures FF in two solvents, an aqueous (H2O) organic (CH3OH) through simulations experiments. Detailed atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) solvents have been performed, using explicit solvent model. self-assembling propensity water obvious while methanol...
Abstract Artificial light-harvesting systems have until now not been able to self-assemble into structures with a large photon capture cross-section that upon stimulus reversibly can switch an inactive state. Here we describe simple and robust F L -dipeptide construct which meso -tetraphenylporphyrin has appended self-assembles fibrils, platelets or nanospheres depending on the solvent composition. The functioning as quenched antennas, give intense excitonic couplets in electronic circular...
Abstract A series of conjugates amino acids with porphyrins and corroles was synthesized. Their self‐assembling ability under defined conditions investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The morphology photophysical properties these molecules were studied absorption fluorescence spectroscopy in solid, liquid, self‐assembled forms. We observed that both corrole porphyrin conjugated the l ‐phenylalanine– ‐phenylalanine peptide to form spherical nanostructures bathochromic shifts emission...
Diblock copolymers based-on elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) have the potential to undergo specific phase transitions when thermally stimulated. This ability is especially suitable form carriers, micellar structures for instance, delivering active cargo molecules. Here, we report design and study of an ELP diblock library based on ELP-[M1V3-i]-[I-j]. First, ELP-[M1V3-i]-[I-j] (i = 20, 40, 60; j 90) that showed a similar self-assembly propensity (unimer-to-aggregate transition) as their related...
Electrospinning is known mainly for polymers. We show that this simple technique allows to shape molecules are useful organic photovoltaic cells into wires, a morphology otherwise not generally obtained. A special advantage of our method the mixing approach test blends promising compounds, without need chemical pretreatment, modification or immobilization. Our materials TPP‐NH2 (monoamino‐tetraphenylporphyrine) and FF‐TPP (diphenylalanine‐TPP), both candidates electron donors in solar cells....
Hybrid artificial antenna systems, with implementation of nature's basic concept self-organization chromophores, have been prepared and investigated in DSSCs. .
The peptide di-L-phenylalanine (FF) has emerged as a highly potent candidate for the development of novel nanomaterials. unprotected was dissolved in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP) mixed with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and single crystals THF monosolvate, C 18 H 20 N 2 O 3 ·C 4 8 O, were grown by slow evaporation `vial-in-closed-bottle' system. is molecule that can only act hydrogen-bond acceptor. Thus, patterns observed crystal structures at 100 299 K are different compared to from...
