Non-Equilibrium Polymerization of Cross-β Amyloid Peptides for Temporal Control of Electronic Properties.

Abstract excerpt

Hydrophobic collapse plays crucial roles in protein functions, from accessing the complex three-dimensional structures of native enzymes to the dynamic polymerization of non-equilibrium microtubules. However, hydrophobic collapse can also lead to the thermodynamically downhill aggregation of aberrant proteins, which has interestingly led to the development of a unique class of soft nanomaterials. There remain...
