Correction: Ca2+ Binding Enhanced Mechanical Stability of an Archaeal Crystallin
Structural topology plays an important role in protein mechanical stability. Proteins with β-sandwich topology consisting of Greek key structural motifs, for example, I27 of muscle titin and (10)FNIII of fibronectin, are mechanically resistant as shown by single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS). In proteins with β-sandwich topology, if the terminal strands are directly connected by backbone H...
متن کاملDesigning an extracellular matrix protein with enhanced mechanical stability.
The extracellular matrix proteins tenascin and fibronectin experience significant mechanical forces in vivo. Both contain a number of tandem repeating homologous fibronectin type III (fnIII) domains, and atomic force microscopy experiments have demonstrated that the mechanical strength of these domains can vary significantly. Previous work has shown that mutations in the core of an fnIII domain...
متن کاملMineral binding peptides with enhanced binding stability in serum.
Although calcium phosphate (CaP) binding peptides are used to link orthobiologics to orthopedic biomaterials, their binding stability in physiological environment is still unknown. In this study, we investigate the binding capability of a series of CaP-binding peptides and their binding stability in serum solutions, which are selected to resemble physiological conditions. The findings in this s...
متن کاملStability and cytotoxicity of crystallin amyloid nanofibrils.
Previous work has identified crystallin proteins extracted from fish eye lenses as a cheap and readily available source for the self-assembly of amyloid nanofibrils. However, before exploring potential applications, the biophysical aspects and safety of this bionanomaterial need to be assessed so as to ensure that it can be effectively and safely used. In this study, crude crystallin amyloid fi...
متن کاملEnhanced Mechanical Stability of Gold Nanotips through Carbon Nanocone Encapsulation
Gold is a noble metal that, in comparison with silver and copper, has the advantage of corrosion resistance. Despite its high conductivity, chemical stability and biocompatibility, gold exhibits high plasticity, which limits its applications in some nanodevices. Here, we report an experimental and theoretical study on how to attain enhanced mechanical stability of gold nanotips. The gold tips w...
