제목 Preparation of Mechanically Stable κ-Casein Fibrils and Microcapsules via the Layer-by-Layer Deposition
초록 Amyloid fibrils are naturally occurring insoluble protein aggregates induced by the cross β-sheet stacking. We induced κ-casein fibrils under thermal incubation in reducing condition, and traced the fibril growth with thioflavin T assay and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Fluorescent intensity increased as κ-casein fibrils were formed and finally assembled fibrils were few hundreds of nanometers long. We analyzed the mechanical strength of the assembled fibrils with the AFM nano-indentation method. Assembled fibrils were found to have several GPa moduli comparable to naturally occurring strong materials such as collagen and silk. We fabricated stable hollow microcapsules by electrostatic interactions taking advantage of strong mechanical properties of the κ-casein fibrils. Hollow microcapsules were successfully prepared due to both strong molecular interactions and mechanically strong κ-casein fibrils.
