Peptides and proteins constitute a large group of molecules that play multiple functions in
living organisms. In conjunction with their important role in biological processes and …

To understand how membrane-active peptides (MAPs) function in vivo, it is essential to
obtain structural information about them in their membrane-bound state. Most biophysical …

Supramolecular self‐assembly in biological systems holds promise to convert and amplify
disease‐specific signals to physical or mechanical signals that can direct cell fate. However …

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are a topical subject potentially exploitable for creating
nanotherapeutics for the delivery of bioactive loads. These compounds are often classified …

In this study we explore the potential of using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of
trifluoroacetate-protein and peptide complexes for monitoring proteolytic reactions. The idea …

It is of considerable interest to construct an ideal drug delivery system (ie, high drug payload,
minimal cytotoxicity, rapid endocytosis, and lysosomal escape) under mild conditions for …

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogen‐and damage‐associated molecular patterns
and, in turn, trigger the release of cytokines and other immunostimulatory molecules. As a …

Fly ash (FA) fractions with a particle size of 63 µm< FA< 250 µm obtained by sieve
fractionation were used as a partial carbon black (CB) replacement in a rubber mixture …

Amyloidogenic proteins like human Cystatin C (hCC) have been shown to form dimers and
oligomers by exchange of subdomains of the monomeric proteins. Normally, the hCC …

The influence of the cation chemical structure, namely its side chain, on the thermal
properties of imidazolium-based protic ionic liquids (PILs) with different perfluorinated …
