- Abstract
A peptidic system is described containing linear and branched peptides based on the RRIL motif that is found in silaffin proteins in diatoms. These peptides form structured assemblies, in which the resulting morphology is dictated by single‐residue changes in their primary sequences as well as by changes in stereochemistry. The resulting supramolecular assemblies serve as templates that can precipitate nanostructured silica in a biomimetic manner under mild reaction conditions. Small changes with big impacts. Linear and branched peptides with the RRIL form structured assemblies, with nano‐ and microscale morphology dictated by single‐residue changes in their primary structures. The peptide nanomaterials are used to produce templated silica in a biomimetic manner under mild reaction conditions.
