An engineering analysis of natural and biomimetic self-repair processes for solar energy harvesting
… evolved highly sophisticated mechanisms of self-repair to regenerate proteins that become photo-damaged over time. Key to this self-repair process is the reversible self-assembly of protein complexes, which is characterized by the molecular recognition of parts, kinetic trapping of meta-stable …
