Bioinspired self-assembled peptide nanofibers with thermostable multivalent α-helices.
The stabilization of peptide's active conformation is a critical determinant of its target binding efficiency. Here we present a structure-based self-assembly strategy for the design of nanostructures with multiple and thermostable α-helices using bioinspired peptide amphiphiles. The design principle was inspired by the oligomerization of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) Rev prot...
متن کاملPeptide-catalyzed, bioinspired silicification for single-cell encapsulation in the imidazole-buffered system.
Inspired by biosilicification of glass sponges, we designed a catalytic peptide, which formed silica structures in the imidazole-buffered solution. The peptide was adsorbed selectively onto the surface of yeast cells, and the bioinspired silicification led to the formation of a cytoprotective silica shell on individual yeast cells.
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Peptide Architecture
A number of short peptides and larger proteins are able to self-assemble to form cross-b amyloid-like fibrils. These bsheet peptides have been increasingly explored as potentially useful bionanomaterials due to their propensity to spontaneously assemble to form large complex structures from simple monomers. An eight-residue fragment of the amyloidogenic Parkinson s disease related peptide a-syn...
متن کاملtissue regeneration through self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanofibers
introduction: in the present study, we hypothesized that a novel approach to promote vascularization would be to create injectable three dimensional (3-d) scaffolds within growth factor that enhance the sustained release of growth factor and induce the angiogenesis. material and methods: we demonstrate that a 3-d scaffold can be formed by mixing of peptide-amphiphile (pa) aqueous solution with ...
متن کاملBioinspired catechol-terminated self-assembled monolayers with enhanced adhesion properties.
The role of the catechol moiety in the adhesive properties of mussel proteins and related synthetic materials has been extensively studied in the last years but still remains elusive. Here, a simplified model approach is presented based on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of upward-facing catechols thiol-bound to epitaxial gold substrates. The orientation of the catechol moieties is confirmed b...
