Improvement of physical properties of calcium phosphate cement by elastin-like polypeptide supplementation

Scientific Reports, 2018
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are synthetic bioactive cements widely used as hard tissue substitutes. Critical limitations of use include their poor mechanical properties and poor anti-washout behaviour.

A Simple Generic Model of Elastin–Like Polypeptides with Proline Isomerization

Macromolecular Rapid Communications
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

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 ...
