Controlled bioactive nanostructures from self-assembly of peptide building blocks

(Figure Presented) Dendrimers wearing functional coats: Dendrimerization of hydrophobic lipid segments in supramolecular building blocks comprising lipid dendrimers and Tat cell-penetrating peptide (Tat CPP; see schematic representation) enables the morphology, size, and aggregation strength of peptide-coated functional nanostructures to be controlled.
