Self-assembling peptide systems in biology, medicine, and engineering /

Show other versions (2)

This is the first ever text on the intrinsic self-assembling behaviour of peptides and the implications of these properties for a broad range of applications. These include protein conformational diseases, the engineering of nanostructured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric materials with pot...
