SUPRAMOLECULAR NANOFIBERS AND HYDROGELS BASED ON AMINO ACID-NUCLEOBASE-GLYCOSIDE CONJUGATES

摘要

Described herein are hydrogelators that include a nucleobase, an amino acid, and a glycoside. The hydrogelators have increased resistance to proteases and can self-assemble into supramolecular nanofibers or hydrogels. The supramolecular structures may be used to help grow cells or deliver a substance to a cell.
