Proteins at interfaces play important roles in cell biology, immunology, bioengineering, and
biomimetic material design. Many biological processes are based on interfacial protein …

Strategies that attempt to mimic the well-defined structures or unique functions of natural
biological materials have succeeded in designing and synthesizing bio-inspired materials in …

Ice-nucleation active (INA) bacteria can promote the growth of ice more effectively than any
other known material. Using specialized ice-nucleating proteins (INPs), they obtain nutrients …

Noncovalent interactions among short peptides and proteins lead to their molecular self‐
assembly into supramolecular packaging, which provides the fundamental basis of life …

Biomimicry, biomineralization, and bioregeneration technologies will pave the way for
regenerative medicine toward better human health. Functional fibrous scaffold with …

Establishing mechanistic understanding of crystallization processes at the molecular level is
challenging, as it requires both the detection of transient solid phases and monitoring the …

Understanding the assembly of proteins at the air-water interface (AWI) informs the formation
of protein films, emulsion properties, and protein aggregation. Determination of protein …

Controlling the self-assembly pathways can be an effective means to create complex
multifunctional structures based on a single gelator design. To this direction, an ion …

Bacteria from various natural habitats have been found to be able to induce the formation of
acid-resistant and heat-resistant vaterite; however, the mechanism underpinning their …

In this study, we use surface-sensitive vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG)
spectroscopy to investigate the interaction between model lipid monolayers and Aβ (1–42) …
