Proline isomerization regulates the phase behavior of elastin-like polypeptides in water
Yani Zhao, Kurt Kremer
Responsiveness of polypeptides and polymers in aqueous solution plays an important role in biomedical applications and in designing advanced functional materials. Elastin-like poly…
Why Do Elastin-Like Polypeptides Possibly Have Different Solvation Behaviors in Water-Ethanol and Water-Urea Mixtures?
Yani Zhao, Manjesh K. Singh, Kurt Kremer +2
The solvent quality determines the collapsed or the expanded state of a polymer. For example, a polymer dissolved in a poor solvent collapses, whereas in a good solvent it opens up…
Structural entanglements in protein complexes
Yani Zhao, Mateusz Chwastyk, Marek Cieplak
We consider multi-chain protein native structures and propose a criterion that determines whether two chains in the system are entangled or not. The criterion is based on the behav…
Structural changes in barley protein LTP1 isoforms at air-water interfaces
Yani Zhao, Marek Cieplak
We use a coarse-grained model to study the conformational changes in two barley proteins, LTP1 and its ligand adduct isoform LTP1b, that result from their adsorption to the air-wat…
