Abstract
Peptide-polymer nanofibrous networks can be developed to obtain hybrid systems providing both functionalities of peptides and stability and processability of the polymers. In this work, a bio-inspired heavy metal binding peptide was synthesized and noncovalently immobilized on water-insoluble electrospun hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin nanofibers (CDNF). The peptide functionalized hybrid nanofibers were able to bind to heavy metal ions and facilitated removal of metal ions from water. The peptide-polymer scavenging system has potential for development of further molecular recognition systems with various peptide sequences or host-guest inclusion complexes. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
