Dataset of the construction and characterization of stable biological nanoparticles

Abstract

AbstractWe suggest that the structural flexibility is key for certain proteins in order to fulfill functions that are required to interact with biological membranes, and that intra-chain chemical crosslinking may result in a different arrangement of protein with lipids. As interaction with biological membranes and lipids is a function attributed to many proteins in circulation, we intended to characterize an experimental design that helps in the study of many biological protein structures and their function. But in addition, by introducing intra-chain crosslinking, we obtained discoidal nano platforms that are stable under different conditions of temperate and time incubation. These platforms might be an excellent model to employ as biological carriers of intrinsic or external molecules. Thus, data shown here clearly strengthen the usefulness of an easy, accessible and inexpensive tool not only to study protein-lipid interactions, but to be used in different biological fields that require the transport of organic compounds.
