Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are amino acid polymers formed at high temperatures by nonbiological processes. The objective of this study is to examine the memfractance characteristics of proteinoids within a supersaturated hydroxyapatite solutio... Read More about Memfractance of proteinoids.

Proto–neural networks from thermal proteins (2024)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2024). Proto–neural networks from thermal proteins. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 709, Article 149725. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149725

Proteinoids are synthetic polymers that have structural similarities to natural proteins, and their formation is achieved through the application of heat to amino acid combinations in a dehydrated environment. The thermal proteins, initially synthesi... Read More about Proto–neural networks from thermal proteins.

Proto-neurons from abiotic polypeptides (2024)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2024). Proto-neurons from abiotic polypeptides. Encyclopedia, 4(1), 512-543. https://doi.org/10.3390/encyclopedia4010034

To understand the origins of life, we must first gain a grasp of the unresolved emergence of the first informational polymers and cell-like assemblies that developed into living systems. Heating amino acid mixtures to their boiling point produces the... Read More about Proto-neurons from abiotic polypeptides.

On interaction of proteinoids with simulated neural networks (2024)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2024). On interaction of proteinoids with simulated neural networks. BioSystems, 237, Article 105175. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2024.105175

Proteinoid-neuron networks combine biological neurons with spiking proteinoid microspheres, which are generated by thermal condensation of amino acids. Complex and dynamic spiking patterns in response to varied stimuli make these networks suitable fo... Read More about On interaction of proteinoids with simulated neural networks.

Electrical spiking activity of proteinoids-ZnO colloids (2024)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., Raeisi Kheirabadi, N., Cholerio, A., & Adamatzky, A. (2024). Electrical spiking activity of proteinoids-ZnO colloids. Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering, 4(1), Article 014007. https://doi.org/10.1088/2634-4386/ad2afb

We are studying the remarkable electrical properties of Proteinoids-ZnO microspheres with the aim of exploring their potential for a new form of computing. Our research has revealed that these microspheres exhibit behavior similar to neurons, generat... Read More about Electrical spiking activity of proteinoids-ZnO colloids.

Recognition of sounds by ensembles of proteinoids (2024)
