Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Major Hallmarks of Cancer
Aberrant condensates formed through phase separation are involved in the dysregulation of various critical cellular processes, including genome stability, transcriptional regulation and signal transduction, thereby promoting malignant transformation and the acquisition of multiple cancer hallmarks.

An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

A Peptoid Ribbon Secondary Structure [PDF]
foldamers that have been shown to possess numerous biological functions and could find use in a range of fundamental and applied contexts as bio-inspired materials. Peptoids are highly attractive scaffolds for such purposes, as their non-native backbones are resistant to proteolytic degradation and their straightforward, modular synthesis enables the ...

Aromatic Amide Foldamers Show Conformation‐Dependent Electronic Properties
Aromatic foldamers with a trans configuration show enhanced conductance compared to shorter foldamers with a cis configuration due to efficient through‐bond electron tunneling. Electron transport in organic molecules and biomolecules is governed by electronic structure and molecular conformations.

Non-natural protein mimetics for the treatment of Alzheimer\u27s disease [PDF]
Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is a slow degenerative disease that causes memory loss and eventually leads to death. AD is caused by the aggregation of the amyloid-beta protein, found on the outside of brain cells; once the amyloid-beta protein begins to ...
