Programming Nanostructure Formation Through Furin-Triggered Isopeptide Conversion and Peptide Self-Assembly. [PDF]

Macromol Biosci
A kinked isopeptide with a furin recognition sequence (RVRR) is designed to respond to the protease furin by transforming into a linear peptide that self‐assembles into elongated nanofibers. This study shows how enzyme‐triggered transformation of a synthetic kinked isopeptide enables precise and controlled nanostructure formation, offering new ...
