Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting the propensity of tripeptides to from aggregates in solution. The present invention also provides tripeptides which are able to form aggregates in solution, as well as uses thereof. The present invention also provides nanostructures formed by self-aggregation of tripeptides of the present invention. The present invention also provides pH responsive aggregates as well as methods of screening for the ability of a tripeptide to form a pH dependent aggregate or gel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the formation of emulsions using small amphipathic molecules, such as peptides which self-assemble to form an interface between at least two substantially immiscible liquids. The emulsions may find application is a variety of technological fields, such as in food, cosmetics, life style products, coating, catalysis, encapsulation, drug delivery and/or cell assays. There is also provided a method of making such emulsions, as well as methods of tailoring the stability of the emulsions for particular applications.
