Nature endows life with a wide variety of sophisticated, synergistic, and highly functional
protein assemblies. Following Nature's inspiration to assemble protein building blocks into …

One could certainly highlight a conceptual resemblance between social interactions as the
basis of societies and civilizations and the ability of molecules to interact in a noncovalent …

Multivalency plays a major role in biological processes and particularly in the relationship
between pathogenic microorganisms and their host that involves protein–glycan recognition …

Carbohydrates are involved in a variety of biological processes. The ability of sugars to form
a large number of hydrogen bonds has made them important components for …

Carbohydrate–protein interactions are involved in a multitude of biological recognition
processes. Since individual protein–carbohydrate interactions are usually weak …

Calixarenes and related macrocycles have been shown to have antimicrobial effects since
the 1950s. This review highlights the antimicrobial properties of almost 200 calixarenes …

Nature has evolved an optimal synthetic factory in the form of translational and
posttranslational processes by which millions of proteins with defined primary sequences …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections are a major cause of death in cystic fibrosis and
hospitalized patients. Treating these infections is becoming difficult due to the emergence of …

The glycoside cluster effect, a special case of multivalency involving carbohydrates, is a
powerful tool exploited by Nature to make relatively weak interactions stronger and more …

The design of multivalent glycoclusters requires the conjugation of biologically relevant
carbohydrate epitopes functionalized with linker arms to multivalent core scaffolds. The …
