Structural and Nanotribological Properties of a BODIPY Self-Assembly [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPY) are promising functional dyes, whose exceptional optical properties are closely related to their supramolecular assembly. Herein, the self-assembly of a BODIPY derivative functionalized with uracil groups is explicitly and thoroughly investigated by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

Self-Assembly Dipeptide Hydrogel: The Structures and Properties [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Self-assembly peptide-based hydrogels are well known and popular in biomedical applications due to the fact that they are readily controllable and have biocompatibility properties. A dipeptide is the shortest self-assembling motif of peptides. Due to its small size and simple synthesis method, dipeptide can provide a simple and easy-to-use method to ...

Thiol- and Disulfide-Based Stimulus-Responsive Soft Materials and Self-Assembling Systems

Molecules, 2021
Properties and applications of synthetic thiol- and disulfide-based materials, principally polymers, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on soft and self-assembling materials in which interconversion of the thiol and disulfide groups initiates stimulus ...

The interaction between self – assembling peptides and emodin and the controlled release of emodin from in-situ hydrogel

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2019
Ion-complementary self-assembling peptides have potential in delivering hydrophobic drugs. This study involved two self-assembling peptides, RADA16-I and RVDV16-I, of which RVDV16-I was a novel self-assembling peptide with different hydrophobic side ...

Peptide-Tetrapyrrole Supramolecular Self-Assemblies: State of the Art

Molecules, 2021
The covalent and noncovalent association of self-assembling peptides and tetrapyrroles was explored as a way to generate systems that mimic Nature’s functional supramolecular structures. Different types of peptides spontaneously assemble with porphyrins,

Self-assembly properties of a model RING domain [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
RING domains act in a variety of essential cellular processes but have no general function ascribed to them. Here, we observe that purified arenaviral protein Z, constituted almost entirely by its RING domain, self-assembles in vitro into spherical structures that resemble functional bodies ...

Self-Assembly and Viscoelastic Properties of Semifluorinated Polyesters

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 2002
The structure and dynamics of polyesters composed from a rigid aromatic backbone and oxyalkylperfluoroalkyl side chains have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, pressure-volume-temperature measurements and rheology. The system was found to undergo three phase transitions.

Self-assembling peptides-based nano-cargos for targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy of tumors: recent developments, challenges, and future perspectives

Drug Delivery, 2022
Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) have enormous potential in medical and biological applications, particularly noninvasive tumor therapy. SAPs self-assembly is governed by multiple non-covalent interactions and results in the formation of a variety of ...
