The technique of ionic self‐assembly, ie, the coupling of structurally different building blocks
by electrostatic interactions, a powerful tool to create new material nanostructures and …

The increasing need for drug delivery systems that improve specificity and activity and at the
same time reduce toxicity to ensure maximum treatment safety has led to the development of …

Using a recently described self-assembly process (Bayburt, TH; Grinkova, YV; Sligar, SG
Nano Letters 2002, 2, 853− 856), we prepared soluble monodisperse discoidal lipid/protein …

Self-assembled nanostructures obtained from natural and synthetic amphiphiles serve as
mimics of biological membranes and enable the delivery of drugs, proteins, genes, and …

We show that the icosahedral packings of protein capsomeres proposed by Caspar and
Klug for spherical viruses become unstable to faceting for sufficiently large virus size, in …

Atherosclerosis results in the narrowing of arterial blood vessels and this causes significant
changes in the endogenous shear stress between healthy and constricted arteries …

Progress reports are a new type of article in Advanced Materials, dealing with the hottest
current topics, and providing readers with a critically selected overview of important progress …

We report the observation of intermediate structures in the self-assembly of the peptide
KFE8 (FKFEFKFE), designed with alternating polar and nonpolar amino acids. Self …

The spread of new strains of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms has led to the
urgent need to discover and develop new antimicrobial systems. The antibacterial effects of …

Thylakoid membranes, the universal structure where photosynthesis takes place in all
oxygenic photosynthetic organisms from cyanobacteria to higher plants, have a unique lipid …
