We report the recognition-driven assembly of self-limiting protein nanoparticles displaying enzymatic activity. Solution self-assembly of concanavalin A lectin and glycoenzyme glucose oxidase leads to the spontaneous ...

By using high-speed and high-resolution Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), it was possible to resolve within a single experiment the kinetic pathway in S-layer self-assembly at the solid-liquid interface, obtaining a model ...

Abstract: Engineering protein and peptide-based materials for drug delivery applications has gained momentum due to their favorable biochemical and biophysical properties over synthetic materials, including biocompatibility, ...

Histidine-rich peptides confer self-assembling properties to recombinant proteins through the supramolecular coordination with divalent cations. This fact allows the cost-effective, large-scale generation of microscopic ...

Hydrodynamic flow in the spider duct induces conformational changes in dragline spider silk proteins (spidroins) and drives their assembly, but the underlying physical mechanisms are still elusive. Here we address this ...

Nanoscale protein materials are highly convenient as vehicles for targeted drug delivery because of their structural and functional versatility. Selective binding to specific cell surface receptors and penetration into ...

In the present work we evaluated the low-fouling feature of a carboxylic-oligo(ethylene glycol) self-assembled monolayer (carboxylic-OEG-SAM) interface using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). ...
