BCMaterials invited talk: Carlos Martí-Gastaldo
Carlos Martí-Gastaldo from the Molecular Science Institute of the Valencia University will talk about "Peptide Metal-Organic Frameworks by sidechain engineering"
Oligopeptides have recently emerged as naturally occurring linkers for the design of metal
organic frameworks (MOFs) provided their multiple coordination modes, torsional
adaptability and chirality. The use of peptide struts provides unprecedented guest adaptability,
modulation of the framework’s flexibility and control over its chemical and mechanical
stabilities triggered by suitable choice of the amino acids in the peptidic sequence. I will
review recent advances in the design of peptide-based porous materials with key focus on
how chemical engineering of the peptide sidechain renders control over their structural
flexibility, stability, chemical function and accessible porosity.
