Non-natural folded polymers (foldamers) display considerable versatility, and the design of
such molecules is of great current interest. In this respect, peptidic foldamers are perhaps …

In recent years, significant effort has gone into making synthetic oligomers that can attain
well-defined conformations analogous to the folding of biomolecules. The diversity of the …

Substantial progress has been made toward the development of metal-free catalysts of
enantioselective transformations, yet the discovery of organic catalysts effective at low …

The design of unnatural oligomers with predictable folding patterns (ie foldamers) and
function has attracted considerable attention over the last ten years.[1] Applications in …

Folding and self-assembly of biomacromolecules has inspired the development of discrete,
non-natural oligomers that fold and/or self-assemble in a controlled manner. Though …

Helical by nature: Urea‐based peptidomimetics with proteinogenic side chains are fully
helical in the crystalline state (see picture). Four acyclic residues are sufficient to drive …

Stable hydrogels with tunable rheological properties were prepared by adding Ca2+ ions to
aqueous dispersions of 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized and ultra …

Hydrogels are commonly studied for tissue engineering applications and controlled drug
delivery. In order to evaluate their reliability as scaffolds and delivery devices, literature …

Ibuprofen sodium salt (IP) was encapsulated in cyclodextrin nanosponges (CDNS) obtained
by cross-linking of β-cyclodextrin with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dianhydride (EDTAn) …

Three different samples of β cyclodextrin nanosponges (CDNS) are prepared from β
cyclodextrin (βCD) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMA). CDNS are cross-linked, nanoporous …
