Cysteine Redox Chemistry in Peptide Self-Assembly to Modulate Hydrogelation

Cysteine redox chemistry is widely used in nature to direct protein assembly, and in recent years it has inspired chemists to design self-assembling peptides too. In this concise review, we describe the progress in the field focusing on the recent advancements that make use of Cys thiol–disulfide re...
