(A) Molecular model of the RADA16-1; (B) Molecular model of numerous RADA16-1 as they undergo self-assembly to form nanofibers with the hydrophobic alanine sandwiched inside and hydrophilic residues on the outside; (C) RADA16-1 gelatinized into hydrogel. Reproduced from (Wang et al., 2012) with permission from Copyright 2012. (D) AFM images of RADA16-I nanofibers at various points in time after sonication.
