Role of hydrophobicity on self-assembly by peptide amphiphiles via molecular dynamics simulations

Using a novel coarse-grained model, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations were performed to examine self-assembly of 800 peptide amphiphiles (sequence palmitoyl-V3A3E3). Under suitable physiological conditions, these molecules readily assemble into nanofibers leading to hydrogel construction as...
