Protein Binding Leads to Reduced Stability and Solvated Disorder in the Polystyrene Nanoparticle Corona

R. P. Somarathne, D. L. Amarasekara, C. S. Kariyawasam, H. A. Robertson, R. Mayatt, N. C. Fitzkee

The paper models protein corona disorder on polystyrene nanoparticles, finding that larger nanoparticles lead to less protein destabilization and more solvated, disordered coronas.

Intrinsically disordered regions that drive phase separation form a robustly distinct protein class

A. Y. Ibrahim, N. P. Khaodeuanepheng, D. L. Amarasekara, J. J. Correia, K. A. Lewis, N. C. Fitzkee, L. E. Hough, S. T. Whitten

The paper identifies amino acid property scales that distinguish phase-separating intrinsically disordered regions from other protein regions and improves a predictor for these regions.
