Controlling the Decoration of the Reduced Graphene Oxide Surface with Pyrene-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2017 We exploited a non‐covalent approach based on π‐stacking interactions to address the formation of hybrids between pyrene‐functionalized gold nanoparticles (PyAuNPs) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), in which the former are distributed homogeneously on

Carbohydrate ResearchSiglecs are proteins that play important biological roles, especially in the immune system. Intervention with Siglec recognition has potential for modulation of the immune system. Progress in the discovery of specific Siglec ligands combined with the use of multivalent platforms for these ligands has allowed effective intervention in various scenarios.

Algorithmic Design of Disordered Networks With Arbitrary Coordination: Application to Biophotonics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Predictive Design of Disordered Networks: Disordered network‐like morphologies are abundant in nature, from cytoskeletal networks to bone structures and chalcogenide glasses. These structures are naturally hard to characterize. A new algorithmic tool extends the established Wooten–Weaire–Winer (WWW) algorithm to valencies above 4.

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2015 Multivalent biomolecular interactions allow for a balanced interplay of mechanical stability and malleability, and nature makes widely use of it. For instance, systems of similar thermal stability may have very different rupture forces.

The Role of Host Cell Glycans on Virus Infectivity: The SARS‐CoV‐2 Case
Advanced Science, 2023 Glycans are ubiquitously expressed sugars, coating the cell and protein surfaces. They are found on many proteins as either short and branched chains or long chains sticking out from special membrane proteins, known as proteoglycans.

Optimizing the Selectivity of Surface-Adsorbing Multivalent Polymers. [PDF]
, 2014 Multivalent polymers are macromolecules containing multiple chemical moieties designed to bind to complementary moieties on a target; for example, a protein with multiple ligands that have affinity for receptors on a cell surface.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioactive conductive Ti3C2Tx‐Ce hydrogels with with scavenging ROS and alleviating neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction are exploited for SCI treatment. This functionality is attributed to interfacial activation modification of Ti3C2Tx with Ce3+ ions to in‐situ form Ce(OH)x‐mediated protective layer, which is beneficial to enabling stable intracellular ...

Dimeric and Multimeric DNA Aptamers for Highly Effective Protein Recognition
Molecules, 2020 Multivalent interactions frequently occur in biological systems and typically provide higher binding affinity and selectivity in target recognition than when only monovalent interactions are operative.

Multivalent glycosystems for nanoscience [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 Carbohydrates constitute the most abundant class of biomolecules on Earth. They are “global players” and indeed play many roles. They store energy and water. They serve as metabolic intermediates. They function as stable, raw materials or as intelligent, bioengineered products. They are even active in “social media”, that is, they mediate communication
