A Theoretical and Experimental Study of DNA Self-assembly
(2012)The control of matter and phenomena at the nanoscale is fast becoming one of the most important challenges of the 21st century with wide-ranging applications from energy and health care to computing and material science. ... -
Assembly of Highly Asymmetric Genetically-Encoded Amphiphiles for Thermally Targeted Delivery of Therapeutics
(2013)Traditional small molecule chemotherapeutics show limited effectiveness in the clinic as their poor pharmacokinetics lead to rapid clearance from circulation and their exposure to off-target tissues results in dose-limiting ... -
Self-Assembly of Repeat Block Copolypeptides
(2017)Self-assembling polypeptides such as elastin-like polypeptides are already used extensively for drug delivery and other applications. However, the current generation of polypeptide drug delivery vehicles was engineered and ... -
Soft Self-assembly and Densest Packings in Colloidal Models
(2017)Inspired by the beauty of various materials with distinct structures and functions in nature, researchers have been dedicating themselves to discover new ways of creating functional artificial materials to fulfill ... -
Understanding Elastin-Like Polypeptide Block Copolymer Self-assembly Behavior
(2013)Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are thermally responsive polymers composed of the pentapeptide repeat Valine-Proline-Glycine-X-Glycine where X is any amino acid except proline. ELP diblocks have been engineered by creating ... -
Understanding the Structure and Formation of Protein Crystals Using Computer Simulation and Theory
(2019)The complexity of protein-protein interactions enables proteins to self-assemble into a rich array of structures, such as virus capsids, amyloid fibers, amorphous aggregates, and protein crystals. While some of these assemblies ...
