The concept of phase-separation-mediated formation of biomolecular condensates provides
a new framework to understand cellular organization and cooperativity-dependent cellular …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human
elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase …

Artificial repetitive polypeptides have grown in popularity as a bioinspired alternative to
synthetic polymers. The genetically encoded synthesis, monodispersity, potential lack of …

This paper reports a new strategy, recursive directional ligation by plasmid reconstruction
(PRe-RDL), to rapidly clone highly repetitive polypeptides of any sequence and specified …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) constitute a genetically engineered class of 'protein
polymers' derived from human tropoelastin. They exhibit a reversible phase separation …

Stimuli‐responsive peptides and proteins are an exciting class of smart biomaterials for
various applications and have received significant attention over the past decades. A wide …

This unit presents a recombinant protein purification method that employs an elastin‐like
polypeptide (ELP) as a purification tag. ELPs undergo a sharp and reversible phase …

In order to cure and treat health-related disorders, therapeutic substance must reach its
target site with a constant concentration over a long period of time. As oral administration is …

Most nanocarriers possess low drug loading, resulting in frequently repeated administration
and thereby high cost and increased side effects. Furthermore, the characteristics of …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are highly biocompatible and exhibit a potentially highly
useful property: that of a thermally responsive reversible phase transition. These …
