As a result of their hierarchical structure and biological processing, silk fibers rank among
nature's most remarkable materials. The biocompatibility of silk-based materials and the …

The abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) is closely associated with Parkinson's
disease. Different post-translational modifications of α-Syn have been identified and …

The self-association of amylogenic proteins to the fibril form is considered a pivotal factor in
the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). PD …

The biomolecules interact with their partners in an aqueous media; thus, their solvation
energy is an important thermodynamics quantity. In previous works (J. Chem. Theory …

Artificial 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems, which mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM),
hold great potential as models to study cellular processes under controlled conditions. The …

The β roll molecules with sequence (GAGAGAGQ) 10 stack via hydrogen bonding to form
fibrils which have been themselves been used to make viral capsids of DNA strands …

This study describes the design, production, and testing of functionalized variants of a
recombinant protein‐based polymer that forms nanofibrillar hydrogels with self‐healing …

Nature shows excellent control over the mechanics of fibrous hydrogels by assembling
protein fibers into bundles of well-defined dimensions. Yet, obtaining artificial materials …

The self‐assembly of protein polymers is a promising route to prepare sophisticated
functional nanostructures. However, the interplay between protein self‐assembly by itself …

By means of replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations we investigate how the
length of a silk-like, alternating diblock oligopeptide influences its secondary and quaternary …
