Fig. 6From: Applications of peptides in nanosystems for diagnosing and managing bacterial sepsisThe structural design of self-assembling chimeric peptide. The peptide sequence comprises hydrophobic and cationic amino acids. The peptide is linked to the hydrophobic alkyl chain to enhance the self-assembly and the hydrophilic PEG unit to provide a stealth effect and improve biocompatibility (adopted from [159])Back to article page
