De novo designed protein supramolecular structures are nowadays attracting much interest as highly performing biomaterials. While a clear advantage is provided by the intrinsic biocompatibility and biodegradability of peptide building blocks, developing sustainable green bottom up approaches for finely tuning material properties still remains challenge. Here, we present an experimental study on formation microparticles in form particulates from α-lactalbumin using bulk mixing water solution...
Abstract Amyloid protein aggregates are not only associated with neurodegenerative diseases and may also occur as unwanted by-products in protein-based therapeutics. Surfactants often employed to stabilize formulations reduce the risk of aggregation. However, surfactants alter protein-protein interactions thus modulate physicochemical characteristics any formed. Human insulin aggregation was induced at low pH presence varying concentrations surfactant polysorbate 80. Various spectroscopic...
