Abstract
- A single amino acid in a peptide sequence can play an important role to tune the self‐assembly and hydrogelation behaviour. Here, a C‐terminal cysteine‐containing ultrashort peptide hydrogelator forms hydrogel through non‐covalent and covalent interactions. Interestingly, the hydrogel is insoluble in water and buffer solutions at different pH values (1‐13) and is thixotropic and injectable. In recent years, removing dyes from contaminated water has become a significant concern because of the shortage of freshwater resources. Therefore, the adsorption of dyes through a reliable, straightforward, nontoxic, cheap, and environmentally friendly adsorbent has become a popular topic. Hence, the hydrogelator was exploited to remove organic dyes from wastewater, harnessing its applicability in the gel phase and solid supports (filter paper and cotton). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
