Peptide materials offer a broad platform to design biomimetic soft matter, and filamentous networks that emulate those in extracellular matrices and the cytoskeleton are among the important targets. Given the vast sequence space, a combination of computational approaches and readily accessible experimental techniques is required to design peptide materials efficiently. We report here on a strategy that utilizes this combination to predict supramolecular cohesion within filaments of peptide amphiphiles, a property recently linked to supramolecular dynamics and consequently bioactivity. Using established coarse-grained simulations on 10,000 randomly generated peptide sequences, we identified 3500 likely to self-assemble in water into nanoscale filaments. Atomistic simulations of small clusters were used to further analyze this subset of sequences and identify mathematical descriptors that are predictive of intermolecular cohesion, which was the main purpose of this work. We arbitrarily selected a small cohort of these sequences for chemical synthesis and verified their fiber morphology. With further characterization, we were able to link the latent heat associated with fiber to micelle transitions, an indicator of cohesion and potential supramolecular dynamicity within the filaments, to calculated hydrogen bond densities in the simulation clusters.
