Hot Article on emerging area: biomaterials that mimic and exploit protein motion

Biomaterials that mimic and exploit protein motionAn excellent overview of an emerging strategy for synthesising hydrogels with more specific bio-responsiveness. Known protein motions are used as building blocks for synthetic dynamic materials, exploiting the conformational changes in proteins in response to specific biochemical triggers. Potential applications include drug delivery and bio-sensing.
