Abstract | Peptide materials often employ short peptides that self-assemble into unique nanoscale architectures and have been employed across many fields relevant to medicine and energy. A majority of peptide materials are high in β-sheet, secondary structure content, including heme-binding peptide materials. To broaden the structural diversity of heme-binding peptide materials, a small series of peptides were synthesized to explore the design criteria required for (1) folding into an α-helix structure, (2) assembling into a nanoscale material, (3) binding heme, and (4) demonstrating functions similar to that of heme proteins. One peptide was identified to meet all four criteria, including the heme protein function of CO binding and its microsecond-to-millisecond recombination rates, as measured by transient absorption spectroscopy. Implications of new design criteria and peptide material function through heme incorporation are discussed. |
