Racemic assembly of minimalistic heterochiral tripeptides boosts their biocatalytic activity for ester hydrolysis. The amino acidic sequences are bioinspired and feature histidine (His) as a catalytically active residue, and the diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) motif to drive self-assembly into anisotropic nanostructures that gel. This study thus provides key insights for the design of green biocatalysts with improved activity.

Abstract

Racemic assembly of minimalistic heterochiral tripeptides boosts their biocatalytic activity for ester hydrolysis. The amino acidic sequences are bioinspired and feature histidine (His) as a catalytically active residue, and the diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) motif to drive self-assembly into anisotropic nanostructures that gel. This study thus provides key insights for the design of green biocatalysts with improved activity.
