Essentially based on self-assembly and self-organization and mimicking the strategies that occur in Nature, peptide materials have been developed to accomplish certain functions such as the creation of specific secondary structures (a- or 310-helices, b-turns, b-sheets, coiled coils) or biocompatible surfaces with predetermined properties. They also play a key role in the generation of hybrid materials e.g. as peptide-inorganic biomineralized systems and peptide\/polymer conjugates, producing smart materials for imaging, bioelectronics, biosensing and molecular recognition applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganized into four sections, the book covers the fundamentals of peptide materials, peptide nanostructures, peptide conjugates and hybrid nanomaterials, and applications with chapters including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProperties of peptide scaffolds in solution and on solid substrates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNanostructures, peptide assembly, and peptide nanostructure design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoft spherical structures obtained from amphiphilic peptides and peptide-polymer hybrids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFunctionalization of carbon nanotubes with peptides\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdsorption of peptides on metal and oxide surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeptide applications including tissue engineering, molecular switches, peptide drugs and drug delivery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeptide Materials: From Nanostructures to Applications\u003c\/i\u003e gives a truly interdisciplinary review, and should appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedicine and engineering as well as researchers in biomaterials and bio-inspired smart materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarlos Aleman\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUniversitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlberto Bianco\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCNRS, Laboratoire d’Immunopathologie et Chimie Thérapeutique, France\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMariano Venanzi\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 May 2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781119953739\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e464\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44377969721484,"sku":"9781119953739","price":175.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781119953739.jpg?v=1780116899","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781119953739","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
