Peptide based nanomaterials: morphology control

Development of new well ordered, functional biomaterials based on the underlying principal of self assembly has immense application in nanotechnology, nanomedicine and tissue engineering. Peptide based nano-materials are not only biocompatible but also their properties can be altered easily by slight changes in environmental conditions and/or side-chains of amino-acids. We are doing multiscale simulation study on many interesting peptides systems that exhibit different morphologies upon slightly altering the primary sequence of peptides.
