Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

Wrapping Pathways of Anisotropic Dumbbell Particles by Giant Unilamellar Vesicles. [PDF]
Nano Lett, 2023 Endocytosis is a key cellular process involved in the uptake of nutrients, pathogens or the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Most studies have focused on spherical objects, whereas biologically relevant shapes can be highly anisotropic. In this letter,

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Low-cost equipment for electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
HardwareX, 2018 Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) constitute a very useful model for biomembranes. They are usually generated by electroformation using sinusoidal potential waves applied between two platinum electrodes or electrodes composed of glasses covered by indium

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.
