Abstract:

The present invention provide novel immunofiber compositions for protein or peptide purification and simple and cost-efficient methods and systems using these compositions. In some embodiments, the immunofibers comprise a customized Z-33 peptide derived from Staphylococcus aureus Protein A which is used to construct immuno-amphiphile molecules that assemble into immunofibers in aqueous solution with bioactive epitopes on the surface and have peptide or protein binding ability.
