Reversible self-assembly of gels through metal-ligand interactions

Metal-ligand interactions were utilized for the first time to assemble macroscopic gels. Simple agitation of Fe porphyrin (Fe-Por) and L-histidine (L-His) gels resulted in adhesion. An assembly of the Fe-Por gel and the L-His gel was separated into each gel by agitation in a solution containing of LHis, and the gels reassembled by washing with a fresh buffer.
