Hierarchical supramolecular hydrogels: self-assembly by peptides and photo-controlled release via host-guest interaction.

Published in: Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) (2018)

A hierarchical supramolecular hydrogel was self-assembled from a Fmoc-RGDS tetrapeptide and showed photo-controlled release directed by host-guest interaction. Multiple payloads, including vesicles, were successively released from a single peptide hydrogel.
