Shearigami: Self‐Folding via Shear Deformation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 Origami and kirigami have become foundations for programmable sheet materials that fold along flexible creases. However, since they are originated from folded paper that allows no in‐plane sheet deformation, they suffer from limited folding energy ...

Molecules, 2023 Cross-strand interactions are important for the stability of β-sheet structures. Accordingly, cross-strand diagonal interactions between glutamate and arginine analogs with varying side-chain lengths were studied in a series of β-hairpin peptides.

A pH Switch for β‐Sheet Protein Folding [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2017 AbstractProtein design advancements have led to biotechnological strategies based on more stable and more specific structures. Herein we present a 6‐residue sequence (HPATGK) that acts as a stable structure‐nucleating turn at physiological and higher pH but is notably unfavorable for chain direction reversal at low pH.

Trapping a salt-dependent unfolding intermediate of the marginally stable protein Yfh1
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2014 Yfh1, the yeast ortholog of frataxin, is a protein of limited thermodynamic stability which undergoes cold denaturation at temperatures above the water freezing point.

Geometry-Driven Folding of a Floating Annular Sheet
Physical Review Letters, 2017 Predicting the large-amplitude deformations of thin elastic sheets is difficult due to the complications of self-contact, geometric nonlinearities, and a multitude of low-lying energy states. We study a simple two-dimensional setting where an annular polymer sheet floating on an air-water interface is subjected to different tensions on the inner and ...

Shaping the topology of folding pathways in mechanical systems
Nature Communications, 2018 Self-folding origami have applications for mechanical metamaterials but one of their pitfalls is that many undesirable folding modes exist. Here the authors propose an algorithm to determine which folding joints to make stiffer in order to ensure that ...

Compression Induced Folding of a Sheet: An Integrable System
Physical Review Letters, 2011 The apparently intractable shape of a fold in a compressed elastic film lying on a fluid substrate is found to have an exact solution. Such systems buckle at a nonzero wavevector set by the bending stiffness of the film and the weight of the substrate fluid.
