Abstract

The formation of functional liposomes by the self assembly of a peptide–amphiphile that comprises the neuroprotective tripeptide motif glycyl-prolyl-glutamic acid linked to a hydrophobic moiety is reported. The self-assembled peptide–lipid conjugate displays long range order and can be dispersed as nanometre sized particles.
