Altering the mechanical properties of self-assembled filaments through engineering of EspA bacterial protein

Altering the mechanical properties of self-assembled filaments through engineering of EspA bacterial protein

Protein-based biomaterials are in high demand due to their high biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and biodegradability. In this study, we explore the bacterial E. coli secreted protein A (EspA), which self-assembles into long extracellular filaments, as a potential building block for new protein-based...
