The invention provides a method for inducing
amino acid and polypeptide to be self-assembled into a nano-structure material and application, and belongs to the technical field of nano-materials and
biomolecule self-assembled materials. According to the method,
amino acid and / or polypeptide are / is taken as a substrate, self-
assembly is effectively realized in a
system containing
periodate ions to form a stable nano-structure material, the nano-structure material is in the shape of spherical nano-particles, filamentous nano-fibers or flaky nano-structures and the like, and the product is uniform in size and relatively high in quality. Wherein the
diameter of the spherical nanoparticles of the
nanostructure material obtained under the condition of neutral
periodate is 5-200 nm, and the
diameter of the filamentous nanofibers is 10-50 nm. The
periodate ion induced self-
assembly method is adopted, the process is simple, the condition is mild, the application range is wide, and the nano-structure material obtained through self-
assembly has special physicochemical properties, excellent
biocompatibility and biodegradability and can be widely applied to the fields of industry,
agriculture, energy,
medicine and the like.
