Abstract

ABSTRACT Glycosidase‐responsive supramolecular hydrogels represent a promising class of soft materials for biomedical applications, as glycosidases play pivotal roles in various physiological processes and viral infections. In this study, saccharide‐appended cyclic dipeptides are designed as modular building blocks for the construction of supramolecular hydrogel systems through aqueous self‐assembly. Notably, β‐galactosidase‐responsive gel‐to‐sol and neuraminidase (sialidase)‐responsive sol‐to‐gel transitions are achieved by employing cyclic dipeptides appended with galactose and N ‐acetylneuraminic acid, respectively, under appropriate formulations.
