  Cofactor-free oxidase-mimetic nanomaterials from self-assembled histidine-rich peptides

  Self-assembling, histidine-rich peptides with similar catalytic functions as those of haem-dependent peroxidases are reported. These findings may have implications for the design of cofactor-free catalytic nanomaterials.

  Moving hydrogels to the fourth dimension

  Materials that permit spatiotemporal control of biomolecule presentation have long been a challenge in the field. A method has now been developed to reversibly pattern cell-laden hydrogels with site-specifically immobilized proteins using sortase-mediated transpeptidation without compromising bioactivity.

  Bioactive site-specifically modified proteins for 4D patterning of gel biomaterials

  A modular approach of photoreversible patterning of macromolecules with high spatiotemporal resolution within hydrogels is employed to generate biomaterials with controllable cell activity through site-specific immobilization of proteins.
