[Illinois] Biomaterials to Replicate the Form and Function of Inhomogeneous Structures in the Body
25 Apr 2014 | | Contributor(s):: Brendan Harley
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex organization of structural proteins such as collagens and proteoglycans. Understanding that the ECM is dynamic and often spatially patterned or heterogeneous over the length-scale of traditional biomaterials, we are developing instructive biomaterials...

[Illinois] ECE 416 Avidin-Biotin and Surface Functionalization I
24 Apr 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Cunningham
In this lecture, we start off by taking a look at X-Ray Crystallography and how it is used to understand how biomolecules binding works. The x-ray data is processed by computer algorithms to determine coordinates of all atoms in...

Carbon Dioxide Gating in Silk Cocoon
18 Aug 2012 | | Contributor(s):: sunil kumar meena
Silk is the generic name given to the fibrous proteins spun by a number of arthropods. During metamorphosis, the larva of the silk producing arthropods excrete silk-fiber from its mouth and spun it around the body to form a protective structure called cocoon. An adult moth emerges out from the...

Basic Rules of Protein Folding
31 Dec 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Seth Lichter
How are proteins made? Inside cells, messenger RNA first instructs the ribosomes as to the order which amino acids should be joined together. Linked together and released from the ribosome, the protein is not functional. It now needs to fold into a precise three-dimensional shape. There are no...

Hydration Dynamics in an Amphiphilic Nanostructure under Controlled Hydration Conditions
16 Sep 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Amitabha Chattopadhyay
Amphiphilic surfactants self assemble to form reverse (or inverted) micelles in non-polar solvents in which the polar head groups of the surfactant monomers cluster to form a micellar core directed toward the center of the assembly and the hydrophobic tails extend outward into the bulk organic...

Cataract, Myopathy and Keratitis: Possible use of Nanoparticles
16 Sep 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Ch. Mohan Rao
Small heat shock proteins are critical for several cellular functions. Failure of heat shock proteins, thus, can cause compromised cellular activity leading to disease. Fungal Keratitis is an eye dieses that can be treated with anti fungal drugs. Availability of the drug at the site of action is...
