Gelation of functional peptides by trivalent cations at the air-water interface
Stephen A. Crane, Felipe Jimenez Angeles, Monica Olvera de la Cruz +2
The paper describes how trivalent lanthanide ions cause peptides at the air‑water interface to switch from single‑peptide binding to multi‑peptide bridging, leading to a reversible…
Scallop Theorem for Swimming in Anisotropic Fluids
Mojtaba Rajabi, Enej Caf, Qi Xing Zhang +5
In isotropic fluids like water, micrometer-scale swimmers have evolved swim strokes to translate despite their tiny size. As described by Purcell in his Scallop Theorem, reciprocal…
Interfacial Rheology of Lanthanide Binding Peptide Surfactants at the Air-Water Interface
Stephen A. Crane, Felipe Jimenez-Angeles, Yiming Wang +12
Peptide surfactants (PEPS) are studied to capture and retain rare earth elements (REEs) at air-water interfaces to enable REE separations. Peptide sequences, designed to selectivel…
