The first supramolecular peptidic hydrogelator containing taurine.
The conjugation of taurine with a dipeptide derivative affords a cell compatible, small molecular hydrogelator to form hydrogels that exhibit rich phase transition behaviors in response to sonication and the change of pH or temperature.
