Polypeptide electrospun nanofibrils of defined composition

摘要

Electrospun nanofibrils and methods of preparing the same are provided. The electrospun nanofibrils comprise at least one polypeptide. A polypeptide can be dissolved in a solution, and the solution can be electrospun into a nanofibril. The solution can be added to a syringe or syringe pump, and an electric field can be applied to electrospin the at least one polypeptide.

主权项

1. An electrospun nanofibril, comprising a polypeptide that is poly(L-glutamate, tyrosine), wherein the polypeptide satisfies the following equation: (non-polar surface area−polar surface area)/DP<100 square angstroms/residue, where DP is the degree of polymerization of the polypeptide.
