Concentration Dependence of a Hydrogel Phase Formed by the Deprotonation of the Imidazole Side Chain of Glycylhistidylglycine

Upon deprotonation of its imidazole group at ∼pH 6, the unblocked tripeptide glycylhistidylglycine (GHG) self-assembles into very long crystalline fibrils on a 10-1000 μm scale which are capable of forming a volume spanning network, that is, hydrogel. The critical peptide concentration for self-asse...
