Tropoelastin Massively Associates during Coacervation To Form Quantized Protein Spheres†
2006
Biochemistry
Tropoelastin, the precursor of elastin, undergoes a rapid monomer to multimer association in an inverse temperature transition. This association culminates in the rapid formation of stable, optically distinct droplets of tropoelastin. Light scattering and microscope measurements reveal that these droplets are 2-6 µm in diameter. Scanning electron microscopy confirms that the droplets are spherical. Threedimensional confocal image stacks based on the autofluorescence of tropoelastin reveal that
