| Abstract | We obtained novel peptides that selectively bind to self-assembling peptide nanomaterials from a random peptide library displayed on phages. Affinity-dependent peptide screening gave phage clones displaying peptides with selective affinities against two kinds of highly networked nanofibers constructed of β-sheet peptides. Both peptide nanofibers have similar primary structures. Binding analyses of phage-displayed peptides by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays demonstrated that the screened peptides specifically bind to the target nanofibers rather than to non-target nanofibers. Dot blot assays using chemically-synthesized peptides revealed that one screened peptide with the sequence Thr-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Trp-Pro-Ala has an affinity constant of 2.6 × 106 M−1 against the target nanofibers. This affinity is 350 times greater than its affinity for non-target nanofibers and 90 times greater than its affinity for mixed nanofibers that contain 50% target nanofibers. These results suggest that this screened peptide can recognize organized fine-structures. Surface modification of the peptide nanofibers with the screened peptide demonstrated that the peptide specifically binds to discrete binding sites on the target nanofibers. Cell adhesion assays on the nanofibers by means of RGDS-conjugated screened peptides showed that the number of adhered cells is largely dependent on the amount of bound RGDS-peptide. These results suggest that screened peptides can recognize the organization of self-assembled peptide nanomaterials, and that the conjugation of functional groups to the peptides can be used to functionalize the target nanomaterials. Furthermore, simultaneous use of individual specific peptides that have specificities for nanomaterials can generate highly dense functionalized self-assembling peptide nanomaterials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
