DNA nanostructures constitute a rapidly advancing tool-set for exploring cell-membrane
functions and intracellular sensing or advancing delivery of biomolecular cargo into cells …

Binary encoding of peptide sequences into differential antimicrobial mechanisms is
reported. Such sequences are random in composition, but controllable in chain length, are …

a nonlinear de novo peptide topology for the assembly of synthetic virions is reported. The
topology is a backbone cyclized amino-acid sequence in which polar l-and hydrophobic d …

The renaissance gene therapy experiences these days requires specialist biomaterials and
a systemic understanding of major factors influencing their ability to deliver genetic material …

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria stimulates the search for antimicrobial
materials capable of addressing challenges conventional antibiotics fail to address. The …

Efficient gene transfer is necessary for advanced biotechnologies ranging from gene therapy
to synthetic biology. Peptide nanoparticles provide suitable packaging systems promoting …

Electron microscopy plays an important role in the analysis of functional nano-to-
microstructures. Substrates and staining procedures present common sources of variation …

We describe here progresses in the field of molecular simulations of large, macromolecular
assemblies of different nature, ranging from protein complexes to protein–lipids, virus-like …

This chapter discusses recent developments in sub-and extra-cellular biological systems
assembled from designer polypeptides. Artificial and semi-designed extracellular matrices …
