 The design, synthesis, and characterization of peptide-based materials is a fast-growing interdisciplinary field, with opportunities to design new bio-hybrid materials and bio-inspired molecular devices. This volume covers the fundamentals of peptide-based materials, peptide nanostructures, peptide conjugates and hybrid materials, and applications of peptide-based materials. Numerous topics are explored, from synthetic peptide chemistry to molecular modeling to engineering for the realization of peptide-based devices, in this valuable resource for researchers from varied backgrounds.
