Controlled disassembly of peptide amphiphile fibres
Journal of Peptide Science, 2007 AbstractIn this paper, the introduction of both a methionine residue and a nitrobenzyl derivative as a labile linker between the peptide part and the hydrophobic alkyl chain of a peptide amphiphile are presented. These modifications are shown not to inhibit the formation of structured assemblies that analogous peptide amphiphiles lacking the linkers ...

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Cytotoxic effects of branched cationic peptides derived from bovine lactoferricin on oral squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Exploration of Drug ScienceAim: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common types of cancer affecting the oral cavity and the upper aerodigestive tract. In many cases, misdiagnosis leads to the progression of the disease to life-threatening stages, highlighting the ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This minireview explores fluorination as a key strategy to optimize therapeutic molecules and nanocarriers. By incorporating different fluorinated motifs—from single atoms to linear and branched chains—drug delivery, cellular uptake, and colloidal stability can be improved and fine‐tuned.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The liposome nanoreactor method enables uniform metal nanoparticle synthesis using the interior as a reaction environment. We demonstrate that peptide sequences and lipid compositions act as a functional molecular switch to control reaction environments in liposome nanoreactors.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...

De Novo Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Antimicrobial β-Peptides
, 2016 β-Peptides are a class of polyamides that have been demonstrated to adopt a variety of helical conformations. Recently, a series of amphiphilic L+2 helical β-peptides were designed, which were intended to mimic the overall physicochemical properties of a
