Mercury-instructed assembly (MiA): architecting clathrin triskelion-inspired highly functional C₃-symmetric triskelion nanotorus functional structures into microtorus structures

Abstract

To detect the heavy metal toxicity by using self-assembled nanostructures a clathrin triskelion inspired highly functional C3-symmetric trimerized biotinylated di-tryptophan peptide was used. This triskelion peptide is known to be...

Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Loaded Biomimetic Isomeric Short Lipopeptide Nanostructures

“…Since both sPA s are differing only in the position of two central amino acids, Phe and Tyr. The structural transformation in peptide/protein can be triggered by using appropriate metal ions [18,20,33] . The presence of key functional groups/side chains helps to determine such transformation.…”

“…The structural transformation in peptide/ protein can be triggered by using appropriate metal ions. [18,20,33] The presence of key functional groups/side chains helps to determine such transformation. Proton NMR technique has been a very high sensitive and versatile tool for structural identification.…”

Copper-guided tuning of supramolecular nano-assembly in pseudopeptide-based soft bioinspired materials

“…The fluorescence emission of 1 and 2 is quenched by Cu( ii ) ions, which is also supposed to destroy the morphological structure formed during self-assembly. 57 Hence, in addition to the luminescence study for selective detection of toxic metals like Cu( ii ) ions, the change in the morphological nano-assembly on Cu( ii ) incubation shows the rearrangement in the particle sizes. Therefore, here, we provide a unique application to detect toxic Cu( ii ) ions by showing variations in the self-assembly arrangement in the field of soft bioinspired materials nano architectonics.…”
