The spectral properties of curli-bound FSB.
, 2018 (A) The UV-Vis spectra indicate that binding of FSB to curli results in a red shift in the absorbance spectrum. Specifically, the absorbance spectrum of curli-bound FSB is red-shifted from a λmax of 361 nm to 386 nm (red shift = 25 nm), which is greater ...

Modulating bacterial and gut mucosal interactions with engineered biofilm matrix proteins
Scientific Reports, 2018 Extracellular appendages play a significant role in mediating communication between bacteria and their host. Curli fibers are a class of bacterial fimbria that is highly amenable to engineering.

Curly beam with programmable bistability
Materials & Design, 2023 Bistable beams with prebuckled sinusoidal shape are prominently constructed into mechanical metamaterial unit cells with bi- and multi-stability. While the effects of boundary conditions and thickness on their bistability were more studied, few investigations have been focused on the effect of the beam shape. We systematically created new geometries by

Interactions of CR with isolated curli.
, 2015 (A) Surface plasmon resonance experiments performed with immobilized curli revealed that CR binding is relatively weak; CR binds to curli with an approximate kd of 2.8 μM.

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.
