The controlled fabrication of nanometer-scale objects is without doubt one of the central
issues in current science and technology. However, existing fabrication techniques suffer …

This review deals with the effect of variations in phospholipid and sterol structure on the
nature and magnitude of lipid-sterol interactions in lipid bilayer model membranes. The first …

Featuring a circular, knotted structure and diverse bioactivities, cyclotides are a fascinating
family of peptides that have inspired applications in drug design. Most likely evolved to …

GABAA receptor is the main inhibitory receptor of the central nervous system. The phenols
propofol and thymol have been shown to act on this receptor. GABAA is an intrinsic protein …

The relationship of molecular chirality and biology is intriguing. Our curiosity prompts the
question as to why diverse natural biological molecules are overwhelmingly dissymmetric. Is …

The cyclic ketones, thujone and dihydrocarvone, are lipophilic components of essential oils
extracted from different plants, which have proven insecticidal activity. The GABA A receptor …
