This themed issue reviews the progress in peptide and protein-based materials, guest edited by Rein Ulijn and Derek Woolfson.
The past 10 years have seen enormous progress in the design and engineering of protein- and peptide-based (polypeptide-based) functional nanomaterials. As a result, some of these are now temptingly close to applications in energy, nanotechnology and biomedicine. Given this progress and the promise of applications with real societal benefit now on the horizon, it is perfect timing to publish a themed issue on the topic of peptide and protein-based materials in Chem Soc Rev.
This themed issue can be found in Chem Soc Rev issue 9, 2010, covering the forefront research on design, synthesis, engineering, characterisation and functionalization of materials wholly or partially composed of peptide or protein components.
