Inclusion of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles into Virus-Like Peptide Nanocapsules Self-Assembled from Viral β-Annulus Peptide
A viral β-annulus peptide connected with a zinc oxide (ZnO)-binding sequence (HCVAHR) at its N-terminal was synthesized, and the inclusion behavior of quantum-sized ZnO nanoparticles into the peptide nanocapsules formed by self-assembly of the peptide in water was investigated. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements showed that ZnO nanoparticles (approximately 10 nm) in the presence of the...
متن کاملGuest-binding behavior of peptide nanocapsules self-assembled from viral peptide fragments
The binding behavior of guests (dyes and DNA) into peptide nanocapsules formed via self-assembly of a 24-mer b-annulus peptide fragment obtained from the capsid protein of the tomato bushy stunt virus is reported. The pH dependence of the f potential of the peptide nanocapsules indicates that the Cand N-termini are directed to the exterior and interior of the nanocapsules, respectively. Equilib...
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 کاملTunable synthesis of self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes and nanoparticles.
While tremendous efforts have been made in investigating scalable approaches for fabricating nanoparticles, less progress has been made in scalable synthesis of cyclic peptide nanoparticles and nanotubes, despite their great potential for broader biomedical applications. In this paper, tunable synthesis of self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes and nanoparticles using three different methods, ...
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 ...
