Cononsolvency is an intriguing phenomenon where a polymer collapses in a mixture of
good solvents. This cosolvent-induced modulation of the polymer solubility has been …

Polymeric materials are ubiquitous in our everyday life, where they find a broad range of
uses—spanning across common household items to advanced materials for modern …

The effects of CaCl2 and MgCl2 on the cloud point temperature of two different elastin-like
polypeptides (ELPs) were studied using a combination of cloud point measurements …

Cosolvent effects on the coil–globule transitions in aqueous polymer solutions are not well
understood, especially in the case of amphiphilic cosolvents that preferentially adsorb on the …

Elastin-like peptides (ELPs) are artificially derived intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs)
mimicking the hydrophobic repeat unit in the protein elastin. ELPs are characterized by a …

Proline cis/trans isomerization governs protein local conformational changes via its local
mechanical rigidity. The amyloid-disrupting capacity of proline is widely acknowledged; …

The past two decades have witnessed a burgeoning interest in a fascinating class of
proteins that do not autonomously fold into unique, well-defined, 3D structures and exist as …

We derive a generic model of elastin–like polypeptides (ELP) that includes proline
isomerization (ProI). As a case study, conformational transition of a–[valine–proline–glycine …

Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs) are well‐known proline‐rich stimulus‐responsive polymers.
They have broad applications ranging from drug delivery to green chemistry. Recently, the …
