Egg white coagulum: a precisely tailorable membrane for biomimetic multilevel structured nanomaterials
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the first time, hen egg white coagulum was utilized as a surface modification agent for biomimetic multilevel structured nanomaterials (BMSN). By using a straightforward thermal control process, hen egg white can be coagulated in a precisely tailored manner, which is specifically adapted to the morphology of BMSN. Consequently, the structural stability, hydrophobicity and biocompatibility of BMSN can be improved significantly and simultaneously within one hour. Meanwhile, their initial structure-related function can be maintained with higher reliability. These advantages offer an incentive to use egg white coagulum as a facile, precise, quick and much cost-effective alternative to the conventional stabilization materials, such as hot melt adhesive, chitosan and polydopamine.

Biomimetic synthesis of 1-aryl-2,5-dimethyl pyrroles using egg white nano-ovalbumin at room temperature under solvent-free conditions
Ovalbumin, as the major component of egg-white, is a globular, biocompatible, nontoxic and biodegradable phosphoglyco protein. This protein with the molecular weight of 44.5 kDa, contains 385 residues of amino acids with isoelectric point (pI) of 4.5. Many purification procedures have been reported for egg-white proteins such as gel permeation and anion exchange chromatography. In this study, w...

An ability to develop sequence-defined synthetic polymers that both mimic lipid amphiphilicity for self-assembly of highly stable membrane-mimetic 2D nanomaterials and exhibit protein-like functionality would revolutionize the development of biomimetic membranes. Here we report the assembly of lipid-like peptoids into highly stable, crystalline, free-standing and self-repairing membrane-mimetic...

481 fresh fertilized eggs of three Kurdish local chickens (Black with brown neck, White with shank feathering, and White with non-feathering shank) were collected at pre-molting (355 eggs) and post-molting (126 eggs) stages to evaluate external egg traits. A venine caliper was used to determine the length and breadth of eggs to calculate Shape index. Results indicated that egg weight increased ...
