Self-Assembled Peptide Architecture
A number of short peptides and larger proteins are able to self-assemble to form cross-b amyloid-like fibrils. These bsheet peptides have been increasingly explored as potentially useful bionanomaterials due to their propensity to spontaneously assemble to form large complex structures from simple monomers. An eight-residue fragment of the amyloidogenic Parkinson s disease related peptide a-syn...
متن کاملtissue regeneration through self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanofibers
introduction: in the present study, we hypothesized that a novel approach to promote vascularization would be to create injectable three dimensional (3-d) scaffolds within growth factor that enhance the sustained release of growth factor and induce the angiogenesis. material and methods: we demonstrate that a 3-d scaffold can be formed by mixing of peptide-amphiphile (pa) aqueous solution with ...
متن کاملEpitope Driven Broad Spectrum Peptide Vaccines against MDR Pathogens
Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia have evolved as a group of co-existing multidrug resistant nosocomial pathogens spreading worldwide. Overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of pan drug resistant bacterial strains and has made all antimicrobial agents superfluous including carbapenems and even the last resort antibiotic-colistin, resulting in high...
متن کاملBioinspired self-assembled peptide nanofibers with thermostable multivalent α-helices.
The stabilization of peptide's active conformation is a critical determinant of its target binding efficiency. Here we present a structure-based self-assembly strategy for the design of nanostructures with multiple and thermostable α-helices using bioinspired peptide amphiphiles. The design principle was inspired by the oligomerization of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) Rev prot...
متن کاملEnzymatic modification of self-assembled peptide structures with tissue transglutaminase.
A de novo peptide that self-assembles into fibrillar structures and serves as a substrate for the cross-linking enzyme tissue transglutaminase was developed (Ac-QQKFQFQFEQQ-Am). Congo red staining, circular dichroism, and FTIR spectroscopy showed that this 11-amino acid peptide produced predominantly beta-sheet structures. TEM with negative staining and quick-freeze deep etch (QFDE) TEM showed ...
