TL;DR: The structural and thermal properties of Fmoc-peptide-based hydrogels for medical applications are described and the role of interactions between aromatic moieties in the self-assembly process and on the physical and structural properties of the hydrogel is studied.

TL;DR: This work explores the assembly of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), which are short DNA mimics that have an amide backbone, and finds them to exhibit optical properties including voltage-dependent electroluminescence and wide-range excitation-dependent fluorescence in the visible region.

TL;DR: The use of a self‐assembling peptide building block as scaffold for the systematic introduction of metal‐binding residues at specific locations within the structure is reported.

TL;DR: The dynamic behavior of tau hydration water is found to be more mobile in tau fibers than in nonaggregated tau, which is suggested to promote fiber formation through entropic effects.

TL;DR: A standard dehydration experiment is described, some successful cases are highlighted and the different possible uses of the HC1b are discussed, a new device that delivers a stream of air with a precisely controlled relative humidity to the complicated sample environment found at modern synchrotron beamlines is discussed.
