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

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are biopolymers inspired by human elastin. Their lower
critical solution temperature phase transition behavior and biocompatibility make them …

Biomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture
and can be finely controlled at the nano‐or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational …

In this paper we report the conjugation of an aromatic moiety (pyrene (P), fluorene (F), or
naphthalene (N)) to pentapeptides GAGAS (1), GVPVP (2), VPGVG (3), VTEEI (4), VYGGG …

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 …

The purification of recombinant proteins by affinity chromatography is one of the most
efficient strategies due to the high recovery yields and purity achieved. However, this is …

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 …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are thermally sensitive peptide polymers that undergo
thermally triggered phase separation and this behavior is imparted to soluble proteins when …

This contribution investigates the effects of chain length and chemical composition on the
secondary structure and LCST behavior of a library of short, elastin-like peptides based on …

Rapid cross-linking of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) with hydroxymethylphosphines
(HMPs) in aqueous solution is attractive for minimally invasive in vivo implantation of …
