Abstract
Collagen mimetic peptides (CMPs) are useful self-assembling building blocks for creating tunable biomaterials with structure and function dependent on triple helix stability. We demonstrate rapid, UV-activated stabilization of a CMP triple helix via thiomaleimide self-crosslinking controlled by light dose, enabling precise in situ control and stabilization of peptide assemblies.
