在过去的四分之一世纪中，肽基材料的研究已经成为一个跨学科的、独立的、非常活跃的科学分支，包括物理学、化学、生物学和计算机科学的许多领域。最近，复杂的多分子结构的发展，通常在纳米尺度上，从自然发生的生物化合物引起了极大的兴趣，给地方一个新的研究学科称为“纳米生物学”。肽基材料在这一新领域占据了主导地位。然而，通常情况下，特定的应用驱动研究。它们提出了新的问题，需要与其他领域进行协调。肽纳米结构和微结构及其机制的控制操作提供了一个非常具有挑战性的科学目标。在此背景下，材料科学中开发的算法、工具、概念和方法似乎在利用肽作为一类独特的材料方面具有巨大的潜力，肽单独或与更传统的材料组合（例如聚合物和无机颗粒）为雄心勃勃的应用开发提供了灵感，特别是在生物医学和纳米技术领域。Mariano Venanzi教授（Università di Roma Tor Vergata），他很早就意识到将肽研究、纳米生物学和材料科学相结合的潜力，是“肽基材料：从纳米结构到应用”研讨会的主要组织者，该研讨会是2010年欧洲材料研究学会春季会议（斯特拉斯堡）的一部分。在那次成功的研讨会之后，Venanzi教授与Giancarlo Morelli教授（那不勒斯费德里科二世大学）在索伦托主持了PepMat 2013，第一届生物医学和纳米技术肽材料国际会议（2013年10月）。第二届会议（PepMat 2016）于2016年3月在巴塞罗那市中心举行，为巩固这一不断发展的领域的知识，经验和创新理念的交流提供了一个独特的机会。毫无疑问，PepMat的第二版允许在该领域的领先研究人员之间明确许多合作和新项目，同时作为研究人员经常合作的交汇点。此外，这也是年轻和经验不足的研究人员与专家交流意见的机会。共有9个全体讲座（45分钟）和19个讲座（30分钟），以及一个生动的海报会议，有29个贡献，为来自超过35个机构和15个国家的科学家提供了一个有吸引力的2.5天的计划。全会讲座、讲座和海报展示的科学内容反映了会议主题的既定和新出现方面的最新水平。本期《肽科学杂志》收集了三篇综述和十篇完整的文章，提供了该领域令人兴奋的例子，强调肽基材料是相容的。
During the last quarter century, research into peptide-based materials has established itself as an interdisciplinary, independent, and very active branch of science, embracing many areas of physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. More recently, the development of complex multimolecular structures, usually at the nanometer length scale, from naturally occurring biological compounds has aroused a great deal of interest, giving place to a new research discipline called ‘nanobiology’. Peptide-based materials have occupied a leading position in this new field. However, often, specific applications drive research. They present new problems and necessitate convergence with other fields. Controlled manipulation of peptide nanostructure and microstructures and their mechanisms provides an exceptionally challenging scientific goal. Within this context, the algorithms, tools, concepts, and methods developed in Materials Science appear to have a tremendous potential in the utilization of peptides as a unique class of materials, which alone or combined with more traditional materials (eg polymers and inorganic particles) offer inspiration in the development of ambitious applications, especially in the biomedical and nanotechnological field.Prof. Mariano Venanzi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata), who early realized potential of combining peptide research, nanobiology, and materials science, was the main organizer of the symposium ‘Peptide-based Materials: From Nanostructures to Applications’, which was celebrated as part of the Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society in 2010 (Strasbourg). After that successful symposium, Prof. Venanzi accompanied by Prof. Giancarlo Morelli (University of Naples Federico II) chaired PepMat 2013, the First International Conference on Peptide Materials for Biomedicine and Nanotechnology, in Sorrento (October, 2013). The Second Conference (PepMat 2016), which was held in the center of Barcelona in March 2016, represented a unique opportunity to consolidate the exchange of knowledge, experience, and innovative ideas in this growing field. Undoubtedly, the second edition of PepMat allowed crystallizing many collaborations and new projects among leading researchers in the field, while serving as a meeting point for researchers collaborating frequently. Besides, it was an opportunity for the younger and less experienced researchers to exchange views with experts. A total of 9 plenary lectures (45 min) and 19 lectures (30 min) and a lively poster session with 29 contributions provided an attractive 2.5-day program for scientists from more than 35 institutions and 15 countries. The scientific content of the plenary lectures, lectures and poster presentations reflected the state of the art in established and emerging aspects of the topic of the conference. The present issue of the Journal of Peptide Science, which collects three reviews and ten full articles, offers exciting examples of the field, highlighting that peptide-based materials are compatible
