The Preparation of Novel Fluorenes Inspired by Hipposudoric Acid
Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.In this research we report on the design and synthesis of a series of fluorene‐based derivatives loosely inspired by the tricyclic framework of hipposudoric acid. Preparation of sixteen novel N‐alkylated derivatives was accomplished via a series of concise one‐step amide N‐alkylation reactions.

Crystal structure of the TLR1-TLR2 heterodimer induced by binding of a tri-acylated lipopeptide [PDF]
, 2007 TLR2 in association with TLR1 or TLR6 plays an important role in the innate immune response by recognizing microbial lipoproteins and lipopeptides. Here we present the crystal structures of the human TLR1- TLR2- lipopeptide complex and of the mouse TLR2-

Micellar and Solubilization Properties of Biological Surfactant Surfactin
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We studied aqueous solutions of surfactin in the concentration range of 0.001–200 g/L using NMR diffusometry, tensometry and optical microscopy methods. According to tensometry data, the system forms monolayers of surfactant molecules at the water‐air phase boundary at C = 0.02 g/L.

Ultrashort antibacterial and antifungal lipopeptides [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Host-defense cationic antimicrobial peptides (≈12–50 aa long) play an essential protective role in the innate immune system of all organisms. Lipopeptides, however, are produced only in bacteria and fungi during cultivation, and they are composed of specific lipophilic moieties attached to anionic peptides (six to seven amino acids)
