Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human
elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase …

Artificial repetitive polypeptides have grown in popularity as a bioinspired alternative to
synthetic polymers. The genetically encoded synthesis, monodispersity, potential lack of …

This paper reports a new strategy, recursive directional ligation by plasmid reconstruction
(PRe-RDL), to rapidly clone highly repetitive polypeptides of any sequence and specified …

Peptides are emerging as a new class of biomaterials due to their unique chemical,
physical, and biological properties. The development of peptide-based biomaterials is …

This unit presents a recombinant protein purification method that employs an elastin‐like
polypeptide (ELP) as a purification tag. ELPs undergo a sharp and reversible phase …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are highly biocompatible and exhibit a potentially highly
useful property: that of a thermally responsive reversible phase transition. These …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELP) are artificial, genetically encodable biopolymers, belonging
to elastomeric proteins, which are widespread in a wide range of living organisms. They are …

Quantitative models are required to engineer biomaterials with environmentally responsive
properties. With this goal in mind, we developed a model that describes the pH-dependent …

The mechanical stability, elasticity, inherent bioactivity, and self‐assembly properties of
elastin make it a highly attractive candidate for the fabrication of versatile biomaterials. The …

Elastin‐like peptides (ELPs) are derivatives of tropoelastin with a unique property that allows
them to stay soluble below a certain critical temperature but reversibly form aggregates …
