A Genetically Engineered Protein Responsive to Multiple Stimuli

Smart protein: Careful design can yield novel biologically inspired materials that display advanced responsive behavior. A genetically engineered elastic protein displays both a lower and an upper critical solution temperature (LCST and UCST, see picture), and its photophysical behavior depends on s...

Description
Summary:Smart protein: Careful design can yield novel biologically inspired materials that display advanced responsive behavior. A genetically engineered elastic protein displays both a lower and an upper critical solution temperature (LCST and UCST, see picture), and its photophysical behavior depends on solution pH value.
