BIOMIMETIC MATERIALS

Porous and permutable peptide frameworks

Nature Chemistry volume 14, pages 852–854 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

The rational synthesis of advanced porous materials that mimic the behaviours of biological proteins remains challenging. Now, a distinct type of crystalline porous peptide framework has been prepared through bioinspired noncovalent assembly, enabling chemical tuning of the properties and functions of the pore environments.
