제목 Protein Crystals on Lipids: Physical Chemistry in Nature
초록 We are studying the macroscopic morphology and molecular arrangement of two-dimensional streptavidin crystals bound to biotinylated lipid monolayers at the air-water interface and in bilayer vesicles. We show how the symmetry breaking in the binding process alters crystal morphology and how changing the pH and ionic strength of the sub-phase can change the crystalline lattice structure. Then, using our understanding of the key interactions between neighboring proteins, we make point mutations to alter these interactions and change the crystal structure. Finally mixing wild-type and mutant proteins we can further tailor the crystal structure and morphology. Producing these crystals on the surface of vesicles provides analogies with protein coats on cell surfaces. We see the influence of an ordered layer of proteins on the mechanical properties of vesicles.
