Effect of sequence pattern on conformation of DOPA-Peptide conjugate aggregates: a discontinuous molecular dynamics simulation study
August 2023 • Amelia B. Chen, Qing Shao, Carol K. Hall
Underwater adhesives are critical for many applications, including marine coatings, sealants, and medical devices. Research on natural underwater adhesives has shown that L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and amyloid nanostructures are vital to their adhesive abilities. The fusion of DOPA-containing chains and amyloid-forming peptides creates a new space for designing underwater adhesives capable of multi-surface adhesion. One critical question for this design is the interplay between the DOPA and amyloid-formin…
