Strategies to achieve controlled nanoparticle aggregation have gained much interest, due to the versatility of such systems and their applications in materials science and medicine. In this article we demonstrate that coiled-coil peptide-induced aggregation based on electrostatic interactions is highly sensitive to the length of the peptide as well as the number of presented charges. The quaternary structure of the peptide was found to play an important role in aggregation kinetics. Furthermore, we show that the presence of peptide fibers leads to well-defined nanoparticle assembly on the surface of these macrostructures.

SummaryPlatelet heterogeneity has been studied with a technique called functional fractionation which employs gentle centrifugation to yield subpopulations (“reactive” and “less-reactive” platelets) after exposure to small doses of aggregating agent. Aggregation kinetics of the different platelet populations were investigated by quenched-flow aggregometry. The large, “reactive” platelets were more sensitive to ADP (Ka = 1.74 μM) than the smaller “less-reactive” platelets (Ka = 4.08 μM). However, their maximal rate of aggregation (Vmax, % of platelets aggregating per sec) of 23.3 was significantly lower than the “less-reactive” platelets (Vmax = 34.7). The “reactive” platelets had a 2.2 fold higher level of cyclic AMP.Platelet glycoproteins were labeled using the neuraminidase-galactose oxidase – [H3]-NaBH4 technique. When platelets were labeled after reversible aggregation, the “reactive” platelets showed a two-fold decrease in labeling efficiency (versus control platelets). However, examination of whole cells or membrane preparations from reversibly aggregated platelets revealed no significant difference in Coomassie or PAS (Schiff) staining.These results suggest that the large, “reactive” platelets are more sensitive to ADP but are not hyperaggregable in a kinetic sense. Reversible aggregation may cause a re-orientation of membrane glycoproteins that is apparently not characterized by a major loss of glycoprotein material.

The trans-cleavage activity of the target-activated CRISPR-Cas12a liberated an RNA crosslinker from a molecular transducer, which facilitated assembly of gold nanoparticles. Integration of the molecular transducer with isothermal amplification and...
