Schematic for fibrin-inspired coiled coil biomaterials. (A) Short peptides from the coiled coil domain of chicken fibrin (α chain (red), β chain (blue), γ chain (green). (B) Substitutions are made to stabilize homooligomeric coiled coil formation, and designed peptides are conjugated to short PEG chains to form triblock peptide-PEG-peptides. (C) Triblock copolymers self-assemble in appropriate buffers to produce hydrogels. Reprinted with permission from reference 74. Copyright 2008 American Chemical Society.
