Abstract

The specific binding in the self-assembled peptide Nap-GFFYEGDADA and the antibiotic vancomycin leads to supramolecular hydrogelations. This sol–gel phase transition can be easily identified by the naked eye. Therefore, it may be developed into a versatile method to detect vancomycin in remote places and in house.
