Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches, known for their reversible photoinduced cyclization and
cycloreversion reactions, have shown great promise in various fields such as optical data …

Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

Silver nanoparticles, as well as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), can be used to fight
infectious diseases. Since AMPs are known to permeabilize bacterial membranes and might …

A pathology-adaptive nanosystem, in which nest-like hosts are built based on nanofibers
that are transformed from iv injected nanoparticles under the acidic tumor microenvironment …

Photobiological processes in nature are usually triggered by nonpeptidic chromophores or
by modified side chains. A system is presented in which the polypeptide backbone itself can …

Two hetero-tri-organometallic compounds with potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria
including multi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were identified. The compounds …

There is some overlap in the biological activities of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We compared nine AMPs, seven CPPs, and a fusion peptide …

We investigated the antimicrobial activities of N‐substituted glycine “peptoid” oligomers
incorporating cationic and hydrophobic side chains. Head‐to‐tail macrocyclization was …

Cyclic peptides are of considerable interest in drug discovery and nanotechnology.
However, macrocyclization of peptides and other compounds has often been perceived as …

The molecular events that contribute to the cellular uptake of cell-penetrating peptides (CPP)
are still a matter of intense research. Here, we report on the identification and …
