Recent years have seen much attention being given to self-assembly of dipeptide-based structures, especially to self-regulation of dipeptide structures with different amino acid sequences. In this study we investigated the effects of varying solvent environments on the self-assembly of glycine-histidine (Gly-His) dipeptide structures. First we determined the morphological properties of Gly-His films formed in different solvent environments with scanning electron microscopy and then structural properties with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In addition, we studied the effects of Gly-His films on silver nanoparticle (AgNP) formation and the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of AgNPs obtained in this way. We also, assessed antibacterial activities of Gly-His films against Gram-negative and and Gram-positive . Silver nanoparticle-decorated Gly-His films were not significantly cytotoxic at concentrations below 2 mg/mL but had antibacterial activity. We therefore believe that AgNP-decorated Gly-His films at concentrations below 2 mg/mL can be used safely against bacteria.
近年来,人们对二肽基结构的自组装给予了极大的关注,特别是对不同氨基酸序列的二肽结构的自我调节给予了极大的关注。在这项研究中,我们研究了不同溶剂环境对甘氨酰-组氨酸(Gly-His)二肽结构自组装的影响。首先,我们用扫描电子显微镜确定了在不同溶剂环境中形成的 Gly-His 薄膜的形态特性,然后用傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱确定了结构特性。此外,我们研究了 Gly-His 薄膜对银纳米颗粒(AgNP)形成的影响,以及以这种方式获得的 AgNP 的抗氧化和细胞毒性特性。我们还评估了 Gly-His 薄膜对革兰氏阴性和革兰氏阳性的抗菌活性。银纳米粒子修饰的 Gly-His 薄膜在低于 2mg/ml 的浓度下没有明显的细胞毒性,但具有抗菌活性。因此,我们认为浓度低于 2mg/ml 的 AgNP 修饰的 Gly-His 薄膜可以安全地用于对抗细菌。
