Elastin-Like Peptide Dendrimers: Design, Synthesis, and Applications
Elastin like peptides (ELPs)—derived from the protein elastin—are widely used as thermoresponsive components in biomaterials due to their LCST (lower critical solution temperature) behavior at a characteristic transition temperature (Tt). While linear ELPs have been well investigated, few reports …

Osteoblast-like cell response to titanium coated with co-immobilized Elastin-like polymers containing integrin-binding and Statherin-derived biomimetic peptides
… research has shown that utilizing biomimetic peptides (i.e. RGD and SNa15) on titanium surfaces could improve osteoblastic responses. RGD is a peptide sequence important in binding nearly half of all integrins and is important in cellular adhesion. SNa15 is a modified peptide sequence from the …

Inorganic Nanoparticle Nucleation on Polymer Matrices
… of the material. Metallic nanoparticles, like silver and gold, have been introduced into polymers for use as antimicrobial coatings or dielectric materials, respectively. The challenge in creating these materials currently is the difficulty to homogeneously disperse the particles …

Observing residual structure in disordered peptides with multidimensional infrared spectroscopy
… and dynamics of the tryptophan zipper 2 (TZ2) peptide. The TZ2 peptide is a 12 residue engineered sequence that employs the "tryptophan zipper" motif to stabilize a p-hairpin fold. For this work five isotopologues of TZ2 were synthesized, the p-turn label K8, the midstrand labels T10 and T3T1O, …
