Abstract
We have described a new class of hydrogelator based on helical β3-peptides carrying a bioactive payload. The β3-peptides self-assemble in aqueous solution to form a nanofibrous mesh resulting in a stable hydrogel. The simple design provides the versatility for attaching different functional payloads to the β3-peptide scaffold to develop new materials.
