Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Chemistry.
Numerous biological processes are carried out by the detection and interaction of small organic molecules, which assemble to form larger macrostructures. In Nature these processes are highly controlled, as small deformities can have deadly implications. Amino acids, peptides, nucleic acids, and proteins arrange with remarkable specificity into distinct structures that adapt, reorganize, and interact with their surroundings to enable the biological functions that characterize life. To truly duplicate the complexity, specificity, and operation of natural systems, however, it is essential to comprehend and design synthetic building blocks with controllable assembly properties and interactions. As an approach for creating responsive and adaptive materials, the self-assembly of organic peptide-based molecules into nanostructures was examined in the following studies. It is hoped that the advancements reported here in pH-controllable self-assembly, pathway control, and hierarchical structures can be further used to create nanomaterials for biomedical and optoelectronic applications.
