Abstract

The porous structure formed by the self-assembly of peptides is a new generation of porous materials with potential applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, separation, and drug delivery. The pores of the material are filled with amino acid side chains, so the pore size and properties of the peptide-based porous material can be adjusted by rational design or modification of the peptide sequences. The introduction of functional moieties and metal ions has expanded the range of peptide-based porous materials. This review covers the design, synthesis, self-assembly, and properties of peptide-based porous materials, and summarizes their applications in different fields in recent years.

摘要

多肽自组装形成的多孔结构是新一代多孔材料, 在催化、传感、分离和药物递送等领域具有很好的应用前景. 肽基多孔材料的孔内充满氨基酸侧链, 因此可以通过合理设计或修改肽序列来调节其孔径大小和性能. 功能基团和金属离子的引入进一步扩展了多肽基多孔材料的结构与性能. 在这篇综述中, 我们讨论了肽基多孔材料的设计、合成、组装及其性能, 并综述了近年来其在不同领域的应用.
