Research finds small molecular changes can create smart biomaterials
The Ministry of Science & Technology announced on 12 October 2026 that researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, have discovered a way to influence how peptide-based molecules organize. By adding a single methylene spacer, the team altered the molecular geometry and self-assembly behavior without changing the basic peptide framework.
