Abstract
Multivalent peptide nanofibers have attracted intense attention as promising platforms, but the fabrication of those nanofibers is mainly dependent on the spontaneous assembly of β-sheet peptides. Herein we report an alternative approach to the creation of nanofibers: the polyoxometalate-driven self-assembly of short peptides. The resultant nanofibers with concentrated positive charges are excellent multivalent ligands for binding with bacterial cells and thus lead to a salient improvement in bioactivity.Entities:
