This study presents a simple and effective strategy for synthesizing biocompatible hybrid nanostructures composed of short peptide amphiphiles (sPA) gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) bacterial infection control. The self-assembling sPA molecules form stable β-sheet structures, which are further enhanced upon the addition ions (Au(III)) brief sunlight exposure, leading to formation functional AuNP-sPA nanostructures. Comprehensive spectroscopic microscopic characterization confirms successful integration AuNPs with sPA, resulting in nanomaterials potent antibacterial properties. conjugates exhibit superior activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa high selectivity biocompatibility minimal cytotoxicity, reinforcing their therapeutic potential. These findings highlight as promising alternatives conventional antibiotics targeted treatment.
