Collection description
Protein self-assembly processes play an important role in some severe neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. At the same time, the capability of some globular proteins to form ordered aggregates can be exploited to obtain novel nanostructured materials. Protein nanomaterials offer economic and environmental sustainability, due to their easy production, the possibility to fine tune their properties by molecular design and the biocompatibility. Their supramolecular assemblies can be characterized by 1D (fibrillar systems), 2D (films or functionalized surfaces) and 3D (hydrogels or hierarchical structures) dimensionality, thus they are suitable for a plethora of technological applications. This project aims to increase the basic knowledge about the proteins self-assembly properties and their supramolecular structures and to the design and production of novel materials for applications in nanomedicine and nanotechnology.
