Can I read Covalent Capture: a Natural Complement to Self-assembly on EtoBox?
Covalent Capture: a Natural Complement to Self-assembly by Jeffrey D Hartgerink is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Covalent Capture: a Natural Complement to Self-assembly about?
The utility of peptide self-assembly can be extended by covalent capture of these supramolecular materials. Disulfide bond formation, native chemical ligation, olefin metathesis, radical capture and oxidative lysine cross-linking have been used recently to help stabilize and characterize a variety of self-assembled peptides. These include natural peptides, proteins and protein mimics such as alpha-helical coiled coils, amyloid-like beta-sheet fibres, portions of p53, glutathione S-transferase and elastin as well as unnatural peptide constructs such as cyclic peptide nanotubes and cylindrical micelles of peptide amphiphiles.
Who reads Covalent Capture: a Natural Complement to Self-assembly?
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
