A proteinaceous superhydrophobic material for facile protein crystallization is reported. The lysozyme phase transition is rationally manipulated to form a reliable superhydrophobic coating on virtually arbitrary material surfaces with good thermostability and mechanical robustness. Such a surface exhibits a fascinating capability to drive protein crystallization, and the protein crystal array can be facilitated in a large area at an ultralow protein concentration.
本文报道了一种用于蛋白质结晶的蛋白质超疏水材料。通过合理调控溶菌酶的相转变,在几乎任意材料表面形成可靠的超疏水涂层,具有良好的热稳定性和机械鲁棒性。这种表面具有驱动蛋白质结晶的迷人能力,并且可以在超低蛋白质浓度下在大面积上促进蛋白质晶体阵列的形成。
