| RGDS cell adhesion peptide have been incorporated into scaffolds to enhance cell adhesion or to allow biospecific interaction. In this work, for improving cell-attachment activity of RGDS peptide for tissue engineering scaffolds, we tried to stabilize the folded conformations of such peptides by designing three types of beta-hairpin peptides having the RGDS sequence at the turn portion. We reported that intramolecular interaction of self-assembly peptides was investigated by quart crystal microbalance (QCM). We confirmed the self-assembly beta-sheet peptide could built up hierarchically organized nanofiber and macrofiber. |
