Oktaviani N, Malay A, Matsugami A, Hayashi F, Numata K
Biomacromolecules . 2023 Mar; 24(4):1604-1616. PMID: 36990448
Spider dragline silk is a remarkably tough biomaterial and composed primarily of spidroins MaSp1 and MaSp2. During fiber self-assembly, the spidroin N-terminal domains (NTDs) undergo rapid dimerization in response to...

Tsukakoshi K, Yamagishi Y, Kanazashi M, Nakama K, Oshikawa D, Savory N, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2021 Jun; 49(11):6069-6081. PMID: 34095949
Aptamers can control the biological functions of enzymes, thereby facilitating the development of novel biosensors. While aptamers that inhibit catalytic reactions of enzymes were found and used as signal transducers...

Hatanaka T, Kikkawa N, Matsugami A, Hosokawa Y, Hayashi F, Ishida N
Sci Rep . 2020 Nov; 10(1):19468. PMID: 33173124
Lanthanide ions (Ln) show similar physicochemical properties in aqueous solutions, wherein they exist as + 3 cations and exhibit ionic radii differences of less than 0.26 Å. A flexible linear...

Oktaviani N, Malay A, Matsugami A, Hayashi F, Numata K
Biomol NMR Assign . 2020 Aug; 14(2):335-338. PMID: 32767002
Spider dragline silk is well recognized due to its excellent mechanical properties. Dragline silk protein mainly consists of two proteins, namely, major ampullate spidroin 1 (MaSp1) and major ampullate spidroin...

Oktaviani N, Matsugami A, Hayashi F, Numata K
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2019 Jul; 55(66):9761-9764. PMID: 31355386
The effect of ions on the structure and dynamics of a spider silk protein is elucidated. Chaotropic ions prevent intra- and inter-molecular interactions on the repetitive domain, which are required...
