Patent ID: 7491690

Claim:
A peptide amphiphile composition comprising a peptide amphiphile selected from the group consisting of CCCCGGGSRGD (SEQ ID NO: 2), CCCCGGGSRGDS (SEQ ID NO: 17), CCCCGGGSKGE (SEQ ID NO: 11), CCCCGGGEIKVAV (SEQ ID NO: 16), AAAAGGGSRGD (SEQ ID NO: 9), AAAAGGGSKGE (SEQ ID NO: 12), and GGGSRGD (SEQ ID NO: 7), wherein the serine residue in the peptide amphiphile is optionally phosphorylated and wherein a C 10 -C 22 hydrocarbon component is attached to the N-terminus of the peptide component, which directs said composition to form a cylindrical micelle in an aqueous medium.
