β-Galactosidase-instructed formation of molecular nanofibers and a hydrogel.

ABSTRACT: Here we report the first example of using β-galactosidase to trigger the formation of cell compatible, supramolecular nanofibers, which ultimately may lead to a new approach for the development of soft nanotechnology.
