Design and Characterization of Protein-Based Building Blocks for Self-Assembled Nano-Structured Biomaterials
(2011)This study is focused on designing and characterizing protein-based building blocks in order to construct self-assembled nano-structured biomaterials. In detail, this research aims to: (1) investigate a new class of proteins ... -
Investigations into Multivalent Ligand Binding Thermodynamics
(2015)Virtually all biologically relevant functions and processes are mediated by non-covalent, molecular recognition events, demonstrating astonishingly diverse affinities and specificities. Despite extensive research, the origin ... -
Micro-Viscoelastic Properties of the Human Conventional Outflow Pathway and Their Evolution in an Early Ocular-Hypertension Model.
(2021)Primary OAG (POAG) is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the US and its prevalence is expected to worsen in the coming years. Major pathological changes have been attributed to the Juxtacanicular Tissue ... -
Micromechanical Properties of the Extracellular and Pericellular Matrices of Articular Cartilage
(2013)The role of articular cartilage in diarthrodial joints is primarily mechanical as the tissue provides a nearly frictionless, load-bearing surface that supports and distributes forces generated during joint loading. Embedded ... -
Model Membranes Study the Lipid-Reactivity of HIV-1 Antibodies and Vaccine Antigen
(2014)One promising HIV-1 vaccine target is the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of viral gp41. MPER is poorly immunogenic, however, the two rare neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), 2F5 and 4E10, bind to MPER with ...
