Storage ( G ′) and loss ( G ″) moduli of the peptide–DNA networks during the annealing process versus temperature for a cooling rate of −1 °C min −1 from 80 to 25 °C when 1 mol% peptide–DNA crosslinker was introduced into peptide networks. For A-B-C and AY-BY-C, we observe three distinct phases in the annealing process: region I′ is a lag phase, followed by a monotonic increase in the shear modulus from around 65 °C for A-B-C and 70 °C for AY-BY-C in region I, reaching a plateau at relatively low temperatures in region II. For A-A′, annealing was also performed at a cooling rate of −1 °C min −1 from 60 to 25 °C.
