Abstract
The pressure and temperature dependence of the cloud point transition of an aqueous solution of an elastin-like polypeptide (MGLDGSMG(VPGIG)_(40)VPLE), prepared by bacterial expression of the corresponding artificial gene, was measured. A temperature−pressure diagram was constructed over a wide range of conditions. The (VPGIG)_(40) solution exhibited a well-defined pressure-induced cloudpoint (P_c), as well as a temperature-induced transition (T_c). From near atmospheric pressure up to 100 MPa, T_c increased with increasing pressure, but decreased with further increases in pressure above 200 MPa. The maximum T_c was reached at 100−200 MPa. Between 10 and 25 °C, the Pc decreased with increasing temperature, and a broad maximum in P_c was observed in the range −10 to 0 °C. These results are compared with our previous results on synthetic thermoresponsive vinyl polymers.
