Novel ultra-short peptide hydrogel as a potential drug nanocarrier

Considering structural aspects required to favour hydrogelation and empirical knowledge on the self-assembly of dipeptides, a new hydrogelator comprising a methionine residue and a dehydrophenylalanine residue was designed and synthesised through a low-cost synthesis route.
