The physics of protein self-assembly
Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2016 Understanding protein self-assembly is important for many biological and industrial processes. Proteins can self-assemble into crystals, filaments, gels, and other amorphous aggregates. The final forms include virus capsids and condensed phases associated with diseases, such as amyloid fibrils.

Electrostatic and hydrophobic patches on Amyloid-\b{eta} oligomers govern their fractal self-assembly: Implication to proteins [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present a generic model to describe the fractal self-assembly of proteins in terms of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The predictions of the model were correlated with the simulated fractals obtained using patchy diffusion-limited aggregation, and the experimentally observed Amyloid-\b{eta} (A\b{eta}) fractal self-assembly using confocal

Toward Design Principles for Biomolecular Condensates for Metabolic Pathways
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates are membrane‐less compartments found through‐out nature which can serve as reaction crucibles for biochemical processes. This review explores the design strategies underlying how condensates can be used in biotechnology to enhance multistep enzyme cascades including enhancement by mass action and substrate channeling, and ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Using novel probe‐based metrics, this study evaluates lattice structures on criteria critical to cellular solid optimization. Triply‐periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices outperform other lattices, offering more predictable mechanical behavior in complex design spaces and, as a result, higher performance in optimized models.

Self‐Assembly of Tetraphenylalanine Peptides
Chemistry – A European Journal, 2015 AbstractThree different tetraphenylalanine (FFFF) based peptides that differ at the N‐ and C‐termini have been synthesized by using standard procedures to study their ability to form different nanoassemblies under a variety of conditions. The FFFF peptide assembles into nanotubes that show more structural imperfections at the surface than those formed ...
