Functional bacterial amyloid nanomaterials
(Bilkent University, 2016-09)Mis-folded or unfolded proteins tend to aggregate and aggregated structures are called as amyloids. Amyloid formation contributes to some human diseases and resulting in death in some cases. On the other hand, functional ... -
Synthetic biogenesis of bacterial amyloid nanomaterials with tunable inorganic-organic interfaces and electrical conductivity
(American Chemical Society, 2017)Amyloids are highly ordered, hierarchal protein nanoassemblies. Functional amyloids in bacterial biofilms, such as Escherichia coli curli fibers, are formed by the polymerization of monomeric proteins secreted into the ...
