Biomimetic Elastin-Like Polypeptides as Materials for the Activation of Mechanophoric Catalysts
Abstract Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are well known for their elastic and thermoresponsive behaviors. Their elasticity originates from the formation of a β-spiral which is the consequence of stacking type-II β-turns, formed from individual VPGVG pentapeptide units. Here, the synthesis of ELPs o...
