Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Elisabeth Protopapa"
- Elisabeth Protopapa's research primarily investigates the interactions between self-assembling peptides, particularly beta-sheet peptides, and phospholipid membranes, providing insights into the folding mechanisms of membrane proteins and the behavior of antimicrobial peptides.
- Her studies demonstrate how factors such as aggregation state, polarity, charge, and applied electric fields influence the self-assembly and interaction of beta-sheet peptides with phospholipid monolayers, revealing critical information for their applications in medicine.
- In addition, Protopapa has conducted electrochemical analyses to explore the behavior of complement-derived antimicrobial peptides like CNY21 in relation to DOPC monolayers, highlighting the impact of peptide hydrophobicity on their interaction dynamics with lipid membranes.
