A Simple Generic Model of Elastin–Like Polypeptides with Proline Isomerization
AbstractA generic model of elastin–like polypeptides (ELP) is derived that includes proline isomerization (ProI). As a case study, conformational transition of a –[valine–proline–glycine–valine–glycine]– sequence is investigated in aqueous ethanol mixtures.

Induced Chirality in QDs Using Thermoresponsive Elastin-Like Polypeptides
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 ...

Characterization of Highly Concentrated Elastin-like Polypeptide Solutions:Rheometric Properties and Phase Separation Analysis [PDF]
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are environmentally responsive biopolymers. These protein based polymers are specific in that they exhibit phase separation in response to a number of stimuli.
