Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Catalysis

Background:

  • Peptide self-assembly creates catalytically active hydrogels.
  • Mechanical fragility limits practical applications of these hydrogels.
  • Developing robust supramolecular materials is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To overcome the mechanical limitations of peptide-based hydrogels.
  • To create a robust, catalytically active supramolecular hydrogel (CASH).
  • To enable practical applications of self-assembled peptide materials.

Main Methods:

  • Enzyme-assisted self-assembly of peptides initiated on a porous material's walls.
  • Growing a CASH within an open-cell polymer foam.
  • Testing the hybrid material's catalytic efficiency and stability.

Main Results:

  • A robust CASH material was successfully grown within a polymer foam.
  • The supported CASH demonstrated high efficiency towards inactivated esters.
  • The material enabled kinetic resolution of racemates and showed stability over months.
  • The hybrid material is suitable for continuous flow reactors.

Conclusions:

  • Enzyme-assisted self-assembly within porous supports provides a viable strategy for robust supramolecular materials.
  • This approach overcomes the fragility of traditional peptide hydrogels.
  • The developed CASH material offers a stable and reusable platform for catalysis.
