Figure 1: Snapshot of a peptoid nanosheet obtained from molecular-dynamics simulations. Figure 3: Peptoids shorter than 12 residues do not form stable nanosheets. The stability of extended, planar ...

Researchers have developed peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between oil and water, opening the door to increased structural complexity and chemical functionality for a broad range of ...

Just as bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance, viruses can also evade drug treatments. Developing therapies against these microbes is difficult because viruses often mutate or hide themselves ...

(Nanowerk News) Nature is filled with extraordinarily precise molecular shapes that fit together like a hand in glove. Proteins, for example, can assemble into a wide variety of well-defined shapes ...

Peptoid nanosheets are a single layer of crystals made from the spontaneous stacking of peptoid chains into parallel rows. Individual nanosheets floating in water were rapidly frozen and imaged by ...

Scientists have manufactured a synthetic form of peptide to combat viral infections, with successful tests already conducted on HSV-1 as well as SARS-CoV-2, showing no signs of cytotoxicity and ...

Scientists have developed an arsenal of experimental compounds targeting the protein aggregates that accumulate in the neurons of patients with Huntington’s disease (HD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ...

Every day it seems you can find a headline somewhere describing the extraordinary progress scientists have made in developing cell and gene therapies for rare genetic diseases, a variety of cancers, ...

FORT BELVOIR, Va. (Dec. 23, 2013) -- New, bio-inspired plastics could sense and degrade chemical and biological agents, ultimately saving the lives of warfighters, first responders and civilians. DTRA ...

From the people who brought us peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between air and water, now come peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between oil and water. Scientists at the U.S.

Nature is filled with extraordinarily precise molecular shapes that fit together like a hand in glove. Proteins, for example, can assemble into a wide variety of well-defined shapes that grant them ...
