Abstract
In this review, a brief discussion of peptides, polypeptides, and their self-assembly architecture as a diverse platform for precision and personalized medicine. Self-assembly is a vital force of nature. The self-assembly process of the peptide chains is dynamic — reassembly repeatedly occurs in a self-healing manner. The interactions that happen to reassemble peptide structures include van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic forces. These forces also facilitate the molecular recognition function that the peptides encompass.
