Tryptophan zipper hydrogels: bioactive self-healing antimicrobial matrices


ABSTRACT: Natural materials can reversibly self-assemble into hierarchical networks with diverse structural and functional properties. Recreating these dynamic architectures using peptide-based synthetic materials has been an elusive goal, hindered by challenges in relating sequence to structure to function. Here we report on the de novo discovery of short peptides based on the “tryptophan zipper” (Trpzip) motif that self-assemble into hierarchically structured hydrogels. Trpzip hydrogels have a tunable modulus and show self-healing, stress relaxation, antimicrobial properties, and biocompatibility. The low yield point allows syringe extrusion with cytoprotection, and cell harvest with a flick of the wrist. Integrating a pendant cell adhesion motif promotes human intestinal organoid growth and differentiation, with polarity control and improved shape fidelity. Considering these unique characteristics, we anticipate Trpzip hydrogels will prove a versatile reagent for biotechnology and medicine.

Soft materials in nature are formed through reversible supramolecular assembly of biological polymers into dynamic hierarchical networks. Rational design has led to self-assembling peptides with structural similarities to natural materials. However, recreating the dynamic functional properties inherent to natural systems remains challenging. Here we report the discovery of a short peptide based on the tryptophan zipper (trpzip) motif, that shows multiscale hierarchical ordering that leads to eme  ...[more]
