Our understanding of amyloid structures and the mechanisms by which disease-associated
peptides and proteins self-assemble into these fibrillar aggregates, has advanced …

Inspired by the charge composition and distribution of proteins and peptides, we designed
and prepared a series of brush polypeptides with positive and negative charges separately …

Tuning the secondary structure of a protein or polymer in the solid‐state is challenging. Here
we report the topochemical synthesis of a pseudoprotein and its secondary structure tuning …

Natural materials possess inherent multilength‐scale structures, showcasing outstanding
mechanical properties such as strain‐stiffening, high damping, and shape‐memory features …

The study of secondary structure is essential for understanding peptides and proteins. Here,
we measured the terahertz (THz) spectra of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) dominated by α …

Salt bridges, pairings between oppositely charged amino acids, are dispersed throughout
proteins to assist folding and interactions. Biopolyelectrolyte complexes (BioPECs) were …

Canonical amyloid fibrils are composed of covalently identical polypeptide chains. Here, we
employ kinetic assays, atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism …

Docking methods have been developed and used extensively over the last several decades
to probe ligands binding to receptors. These methods greatly decrease the complexity of two …
