Abstract

This review covers the major processes and mechanisms involved in the production of biohybrid or peptide-based polymer vesicles by self-assembly. The formation of vesicles conventionally occurs based on geometric packing issues, and becomes predominant when the membrane-forming segment is stiffened due to hydrogen bonding and secondary structure interactions or supramolecular complexation. The vesicles are used for applications in life science, for the purpose of drug/gene delivery, cell surface recognition, and as bioreactors, and for the production of composite materials.
