Temperature-dependent morphology of hybrid nanoflowers from elastin-like polypeptides

Temperature-dependent morphology of hybrid nanoflowers from elastin-like polypeptides

We report a method for creating hybrid organic-inorganic “nanoflowers” using calcium or copper ions as the inorganic component and a recombinantly expressed elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) as the organic component. Polypeptides provide binding sites for the dynamic coordination with metal ions, and t...
