Induction of protein body formation in plant leaves by elastin-like polypeptide fusions [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2009 Background Elastin-like polypeptides are synthetic biopolymers composed of a repeating pentapeptide 'VPGXG' sequence that are valuable for the simple non-chromatographic purification of recombinant proteins.

A highly-sensitive genetically encoded temperature indicator exploiting a temperature-responsive elastin-like polypeptide [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Genetically encoded temperature indicators (GETIs) allow for real-time measurement of subcellular temperature dynamics in live cells. However, GETIs have suffered from poor temperature sensitivity, which may not be sufficient to resolve small heat ...

Development of elastin-like polypeptide for targeted specific gene delivery in vivo [PDF]
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2020 Background The successful deliveries of siRNA depend on their stabilities under physiological conditions because greater in vivo stability enhances cellular uptake and enables endosomal escape. Viral-based systems appears as most efficient approaches for

Streamlining recombinant peptide and protein production using a pre-configured elastin-like polypeptide expression cassette. [PDF]
PLoS ONEElastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are synthetic biopolymers that exhibit a unique thermo-responsive behavior: they remain soluble below a defined transition temperature but undergo reversible aggregation when the temperature exceeds this threshold.
