Peptide and Protein Hydrogels [PDF]

, 2012
Proteins are a fascinating class of macromolecules from both functional and structural perspectives. They catalyze the reactions that sustain life, bind ligands with high affinity and specificity, and mediate interactions among biomolecules in complex ...

Molecular Size Modulates Pharmacokinetics, Biodistribution, and Renal Deposition of the Drug Delivery Biopolymer Elastin-like Polypeptide

Scientific Reports, 2018
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELP) are engineered proteins that consist of repetitions of a five amino acid motif, and their composition is easily modified to adjust their physical properties and attach therapeutics.

Antibiofilm elastin-like polypeptide coatings: functionality, stability, and selectivity

Acta Biomaterialia, 2019
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently receiving interest as an alternative to conventional antibiotics to treat biomaterial-associated infection. However, the inherent instability of such peptides often limits their efficacy in intended clinical applications.

Application of Thermally Responsive Elastin-like Polypeptide Fused to a Lactoferrin-derived Peptide for Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

Molecules, 2009
A well characterized, peptide derivative of bovine lactoferrin, L12, has been shown to possess anticancer properties in multiple cell lines. However, adverse side effects in normal tissues and poor plasma kinetics that hinder the clinical effectiveness ...

Induced Chirality in QDs Using Thermoresponsive Elastin-Like Polypeptides

Langmuir
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has emerged as a potent tool for probing chiral small molecule ligand exchange on natively achiral quantum dots (QDs). In this study, we report a novel approach to identifying QD-biomolecule interactions by inducing chirality in CdS QDs using thermoresponsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) engineered with C ...
