Heterogeneous materials, such as biological tissues, foodstuffs, and rocks, contain a range
of microscopic environments where the molecular constituents often have different NMR …

The physical origin of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of a variety of
fluids, including elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), has been studied for the past few decades …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are thermoresponsive biopolymers that undergo an LCST-
like phase transition in aqueous solutions. The temperature of this LCST-like transition, T t …

Despite the current high interest, there is limited information on diffusion data for intrinsically
disordered proteins (IDPs). This study investigates the effect of crowding on the diffusion …

Understanding how biological macromolecules assemble into higher-order structures is
critical to explaining their function in living organisms and engineered biomaterials …

The mechanical properties of Bombyx mori silk fibers, such as elasticity and tensile strength,
change remarkably upon hydration. However, changes in the local conformation and …

Molecular modeling of protein materials is a quickly growing area of research that has
produced numerous contributions in fields ranging from structural engineering to medicine …

The mechanical properties of Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF), such as elasticity and tensile
strength, change remarkably upon hydration. However, the microscopic interaction with …

The focus of this work was on the significant changes in the water dynamics of aqueous poly
(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) solution during sol-to-gel transition. Through the use of …

Many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in nature may undergo liquid–liquid phase
separation to assemble membraneless organelles with varied liquid-like properties and …
