Biofunctional Peptide Hydrogel: Self-Assembly, Rheological Properties, and In Vivo Antioxidant Activity of Ovalbumin-Derived Peptide (VLVNAIVFKGL).

Ovalbumin-derived peptide, VLVNAIVFKGL, demonstrated self-assembling and gelation properties. However, the extent of self-assembly via solvent-switching and the bioactive potential of the ordered peptide aggregates is unknown. In silico analysis using AGGRESCAN, TANGO, ANuPP, and GAP predicted a high propensity to self-assemble into amyloid-like aggregates.
