Owing to the assortment of functional groups, peptides are capable of self-assembly and formation of regularly patterned supramolecular complexes. Peptide-based nanomaterials offer promise for medicine, engineering, and bioimaging. The present review surveys the structure and characteristics of filaments formed by peptides of various secondary structures and their further assembly into 2D and 3D nanomaterials. Possible application areas of self-assembling peptide systems, including the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials, are considered.
