제목 Control of Interfacial Curvature to Form Highly Ordered 2D Structures by Peptide Assembly
초록 Peptide is information-rich biopolymer that allow for the sequence-specific assembly. Especially, tyrosine is one of the most significant amino acid that determine the folding geometry of multi-protein organization and facilitate proton-coupled electron transport. For example, protonation and deprotonation of hydroxyl group in tyrosine can be coupled with photo-excitation in chlorophyll, that allow for the efficient electron transport in photosystem II and also induce abrupt folding change in photoactive yellow proteins. Here, we have identified specific sequences of tyrosine mediated peptides that can form densely packed, rigid two dimensional structure at air/water interface and then consequently modify its curvature. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis along the film edges shows the evidence of film stacking of multiple thin nanosheets and the minimum thickness is 1.4 nm. Such facet formation of a water drop has never been observed previously and has significant implications for understanding the molecular dynamics of interfaces.
