Bioorthogonal Elastin-like Polypeptide Scaffolds for Immunoassay Enhancement [PDF]
Artificial multiprotein complexes are sought after reagents for biomolecular engineering. A current limiting factor is the paucity of molecular scaffolds which allow for site-specific multicomponent assembly.

pH-Responsive Elastin-Like Polypeptide Designer Condensates. [PDF]
Biomolecular condensates are macromolecular complexes formed by liquid-liquid phase separation. They regulate key biological functions by reversibly compartmentalizing molecules in cells, in a stimulus-dependent manner. Designing stimuli-responsive synthetic condensates is crucial for engineering compartmentalized synthetic cells that are able to mimic

Pathway‐Dependent Co‐Assembly of Elastin‐Like Polypeptides [PDF]
AbstractIn natural systems, temperature‐induced assembly of biomolecules can lead to the formation of distinct assembly states, created out of the same set of starting compounds, based on the heating trajectory followed. Until now it has been difficult to achieve similar behavior in synthetic polymer mixtures.

Elastin-like polypeptides in drug delivery [PDF]
The use of recombinant elastin-like materials, or elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), in drug-delivery applications is reviewed in this work. Although ELRs were initially used in similar ways to other, more conventional kinds of polymeric carriers, their unique properties soon gave rise to systems of unparalleled functionality and efficiency, with the ...

Construction and application of elastin like polypeptide containing IL-4 receptor targeting peptide. [PDF]
Various human solid tumors highly express IL-4 receptors which amplify the expression of some of anti-apoptotic proteins, preventing drug-induced cancer cell death. Thus, IL-4 receptor targeted drug delivery can possibly increase the therapeutic efficacy

Biodegradation of elastin‐like polypeptide nanoparticles [PDF]
AbstractProtein polymers are repetitive polypeptides produced by ribosomal biosynthetic pathways; furthermore, they offer emerging opportunities in drug and biopharmaceutical delivery. As for any polymer, biodegradation is one of the most important determinants affecting how a protein polymer can be utilized in the body.

Chain Stiffness of Elastin-Like Polypeptides [PDF]
The hydrodynamic radii of a series of genetically engineered monodisperse elastin like polypeptides (ELP) was determined by dynamic light scattering in aqueous solution as function of molar mass. Utilizing the known theoretical expression for the hydrodynamic radius of wormlike chains, the Kuhn statistical segment length was determined to be lk = 2.1 ...

Correlating topography and viscoelastic properties of Elastin-Like Polypeptide scaffolds probed at the nanoscale: Intermodulation Atomic Force Microscopy [PDF]
The synthesis and property characterization of soft biomaterials has taken precedence in recent years. Although bulk physical-chemical properties are well known for these bio-materials, nanoscale properties still need to be probed and evaluated to fine ...
