Abstract

Unter Spannung: Ändert sich in einem Protein-Polymer-Hybridmaterial die mechanische Spannung der Polymermatrix, so löst dies eine Konformationsänderung des Proteinkomplexes aus: Das Material meldet eine strukturelle Schädigung (siehe Bild). Die Reporterkomponente ist ein Chaperonin, das ein Paar fluoreszierender Proteine kovalent bindet. Wird das Chaperonin deformiert, ändert sich der Abstand zwischen den Fluorophoren und folglich auch das FRET-Signal. Under stress: Changes in stress of the polymer matrix in a protein-polymer hybrid material result in changes of conformation of the protein complex, thus resulting in a damage-reporting material (see picture). The reporter is an engineered chaperonin that covalently entraps a pair of fluorescent proteins. Deformation of the chaperonin leads to a change in fluorophore distance and a change in the fluorescene resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal.
