DESCRIPTION:Prof. Helma Wennemers (ETH Zurich)\nSelf-assembly and selectiv
 e recognition events involving proteins are critical in nature for the fun
 ction of numerous different processes\, for example\, catalysis\, signal t
 ransduction or the controlled formation of structural components such as b
 ones. My group is intrigued by the question whether also peptides with sig
 nificantly lower molecular weights compared to proteins can fulfill functi
 ons for which nature evolved large macromolecules. Specifically we ask whe
 ther peptides can serve as effective asymmetric catalysts\, templates for 
 the controlled formation of metal nanoparticles\, hierarchical supramolecu
 lar assemblies\, synthetic collagen based materials\, or tumor targeting v
 ectors.\n
