artificial β‐barrel proteins at will. Here, we describe a rational approach to construct β‐barrel protein mimics from the self‐assembly of peptide‐based building blocks. With this approach, the direction of the self‐assembly process toward the formation of water‐soluble β‐barrel nanorings or water‐insoluble transmembrane β‐barrel pores could be controlled by the simple but versatile molecular manipulation
呈环状的β-桶蛋白在许多类型的水溶性酶和水不溶性跨膜成孔蛋白中很常见。由于β-桶形蛋白质在细胞中具有多种功能,因此,如果我们能够随意控制人工β-桶形蛋白质的极性,这将是开发人工蛋白质的重要一步。在这里,我们描述了一种从基于肽的构件的自组装构建β-桶状蛋白模拟物的合理方法。通过这种方法,可以通过对超分子构件的简单而通用的分子操作来控制自组装过程向水溶性β-桶纳米环或水不溶性跨膜β-桶孔形成的方向。
