Self-assembling properties of ionic-complementary peptides
Self-complementary synthetic peptides, composed by 8 and 16 residues, were analyzed by CD, NMR and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques in order to investigate the relevance of charge and hydrophobic interactions in determining their self ...

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

Self-assembling peptide-enriched electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds promote the h-osteoblast adhesion and modulate differentiation-associated gene expression [PDF]
Electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) is able to support the adhesion and growth of h-osteoblasts and to delay their degradation rate to a greater extent with respect to other polyesters. The drawbacks linked to its employment in regenerative medicine arise

Self-repair ability of evolved self-assembling systems in cellular automata [PDF]
Self-repairing systems are those that are able to reconfigure themselves following disruptions to bring them back into a defined normal state. In this paper we explore the self-repair ability of some cellular automata-like systems, which differ from ...

Self-assembly properties of a model RING domain [PDF]
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 formed by Z in infected ...

Self-Assembly and Viscoelastic Properties of Semifluorinated Polyesters
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.

Oligosaccharides Self-Assemble and Show Intrinsic Optical Properties [PDF]
Self-assembling peptides and oligonucleotides have given rise to synthetic materials with several applications in nanotechnology. Aggregation of synthetic oligosaccharides into well-defined architectures has not been reported even though natural polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin, are key structural components of biomaterials.
