Self-assembled peptide nanostructures by exploiting conformational change, biosensor using the same and detection method of biomolecules using the same
The present disclosure relates to a self-assembled peptide nanostructure including at least one amphiphilic peptide and a biosensor using the same. The amphiphilic peptide is a hairpin-shaped amphiphilic peptide including a hydrophilic domain having an α-helical structure and a hydrophobic domain. The N-terminal of the hydrophobic domain is a pyrene group. Since the self-assembled peptide nanostructure is derived from an RNA, DNA or amino acid sequence capable of recognizing a specific target substance, it does not recognize other substances but exhibits high selectivity for the target substance. Specifically, since the self-assembled peptide nanostructure has an excimer fluorescence peak at 480 nm through binding with the target substance, it can be usefully used in medical applications such as diagnosis of diseases.
