The Ni-NTA-modified β-annulus peptide self-assembled into virus-like nanocapsules of approximately 40 nm in diameter. The critical aggregation concentration of these nanocapsules in 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.3) at 25°C was 0.053 μM, which is 470 times lower than that of unmodified β-annulus peptides. Moreover, size exclusion chromatography of the peptide assembly indicated encapsulation of His-tagged green fluorescent protein in the Ni-NTA-modified artificial viral capsid.}, pages = {7869--7874}, title = {Self-assembly of Ni-NTA-modified β-Annulus Peptides into Artificial Viral Capsids and Encapsulation of His-tagged Proteins}, volume = {14}, year = {2016} }
