Book Peptide Materials

Download or read book Peptide Materials written by Carlos Aleman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peptides are the building blocks of the natural world; with varied sequences and structures, they enrich materials producing more complex shapes, scaffolds and chemical properties with tailorable functionality. Essentially based on self-assembly and self-organization and mimicking the strategies that occur in Nature, peptide materials have been developed to accomplish certain functions such as the creation of specific secondary structures (a- or 310-helices, b-turns, b-sheets, coiled coils) or biocompatible surfaces with predetermined properties. They also play a key role in the generation of hybrid materials e.g. as peptide-inorganic biomineralized systems and peptide/polymer conjugates, producing smart materials for imaging, bioelectronics, biosensing and molecular recognition applications. Organized into four sections, the book covers the fundamentals of peptide materials, peptide nanostructures, peptide conjugates and hybrid nanomaterials, and applications with chapters including: Properties of peptide scaffolds in solution and on solid substrates Nanostructures, peptide assembly, and peptide nanostructure design Soft spherical structures obtained from amphiphilic peptides and peptide-polymer hybrids Functionalization of carbon nanotubes with peptides Adsorption of peptides on metal and oxide surfaces Peptide applications including tissue engineering, molecular switches, peptide drugs and drug delivery Peptide Materials: From Nanostructures to Applications gives a truly interdisciplinary review, and should appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, biomedicine and engineering as well as researchers in biomaterials and bio-inspired smart materials.

  • ISBN : 1461240948
  • Pages : 437 pages

Download or read book Protein Based Materials written by David Kaplan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature learned long ago how useful proteins are as a diverse set of building blocks to make materials with very diverse properties. Spider webs, egg whites, hair follicles, and skeletal muscles are all largely protein. This book provides a glimpse into both nature's strategies for the design and produc tion of protein-based materials, and how scientists have been able to go beyond the constraints of natural materials to produce synthetic analogs with potentially wider ranges of properties. The work presented is very much the beginning of the story. Only recently has there been much progress in obtaining a molecular understanding of some of nature's com plex materials, and the mimicry or replacement of these by synthetic or genetically engineered variants is a field still in its infancy. Yet this book will serve as a useful introduction for those wishing to get started in what is sure to be an active and productive field throughout the 21st century. The authors represent a wide range of interests and expertise, and the topics chosen are comprehensive. Charles R. Cantor Center for Advanced Biotechnology Boston University Series Preface The properties of materials depend on the nature of the macromolecules, small molecules and inorganic components and the interfaces and interac tions between them. Polymer chemistry and physics, and inorganic phase structure and density are major factors that influence the performance of materials.

Book Polypeptide Materials with Engineered Functionalities

Download or read book Polypeptide Materials with Engineered Functionalities written by Graciela E. Negri Jimenez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polypeptide materials were developed to address a variety of biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and drug delivery. This work was focused on increasing the pool of amino acid monomers to further the functionality and manipulation of polypeptide materials. This dissertation describes the development of polypeptide materials with stimuli-responsive behaviors and new functionality. A boronic acid-functionalized polypeptide-PEG copolymer was synthesized. This copolymer demonstrated the ability to reversibly bind to glycosylated enzymes; formed stable complexes at pH 7.4, and dissociated at pH 5.0, the pH of a lysosomal compartment. This complexation was specific to glycosylated enzymes and the boronic acid functionality used. These results suggest potential application of these copolymers in enzyme replacement therapies. A new L-lysine based -amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomer was synthesized in order to prepare photodegradable polypeptide hydrogels. The lysine derivative was caged using a UV-labile protecting group. Hydrogels were assembled using this residue as the hydrophobic block. Material properties could be adjusted by variation of hydrophobic block length and composition, as well as polymer concentration in water. These parameters were also used to tune the degradation profile of these hydrogels upon exposure to 365 nm light. Loading of dyes into these networks followed by irradiation demonstrated the ability for these gels to encapsulate and facilitate the triggered release of therapeutics. Finally, polysulfonium-based polypeptide hydrogels were synthesized, assembled and characterized using unnatural amino acid NCA monomers. Creation of these new materials relied on application of previously reported post-polymerization thioether alkylation methodology from the Deming lab to new building blocks. The resulting polymers were found to tolerate a range of functionality without loss of hydrogel properties. While hydrophobic block length and polymer concentration were used to tune gel properties, the choice of alkylating agent was also responsible for changing gel stiffness. Use of mixtures of different alkylating agents led to further fine adjustment of materials properties. The incorporation of azide groups was also tolerated by the scaffolds, and this functionality was used for subsequent click chemistry to demonstrate the retention of gel properties even after further functionalization. This methodology has implications for the incorporation of fluorescent labels or cell attachment-promoting ligands.
