Peptide Synthesis> | … The ends of the peptides were acylated and amidated to isolate the effect of the guest residue. The full amino acid sequences are shown in Table 1. Peptides were ordered from GenScript at a purity of 97.6%. Table 1 Design of elastin-like peptides used in this study … | Get A Quote |
Control of ionomer thin films on metal surfaces is important for a range of electrodes used in electrochemical applications. Engineered peptides have emerged as powerful tools in electrode assembly because binding sites and peptide structures can be modulated by changing the amino acid sequence. However, no studies have been conducted showing peptides can be engineered to interact with ionomers and metals simultaneously. In this study, we design a single-repeat elastin-like peptide to bind to gold using a cysteine residue, and bind to a perfluorinated sulfonic-acid ionomer called Nafion® using a lysine guest residue. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and atomic force microscopy are ... More
