Disordered Protein Stabilization by Co-Assembly of Short Peptides Enables Formation of Robust Membranes

Moumita Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the temperature-independent formation of stable membranes by the spontaneous interaction of intrinsically disordered elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) with short aromatic peptides, offering novel possibilities for controlling the conformational restriction of intrinsically disordered proteins and using them in the design of new materials. The membranes are stable over time and display durability over a wide range of environmental parameters, supporting preosteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation as well as pH-dependent cargo release. Simple noncovalent interactions with short aromatic peptides can overcome conformational restrictions due to the phase transition to facilitate the formation of complex bioactive scaffolds.

Hierarchical Membranes Self-Assembled at the Interface between Peptides and Polymer Aqueous Solutions

Gal Yosefi et al.

Summary: Biocompatible and biodegradable molecules can self-assemble into hierarchical structures, which can be used as building blocks for complex cell culture scaffolds. Combining the structure of peptides with the stability of polymers has led to the development of stable biomaterials. Macroscopic membranes self-assembled at the interface of self-assembling peptides and polymer solutions have potential for studying cell-environment interactions.
