10. [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...

12. Tensile Mechanics of alpha-Helical Polypeptides

    30 Aug 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Korosh Torabi, George C. Schatz

    This model is capable of making quantitatively accurate predictions of force-extension behavior of a given helix-forming polypeptide sequence including its dependence on pH, temperature and ionic strength.

13. [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...

14. 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...
