Self-organization of Short Peptide Fragments: From Amyloid Fibrils to Nanoscale Supramolecular Assemblies
Numerous supramolecular protein assemblies had been demonstrated to have either physiological or pathological activities. The most significant case of diseaseassociated self-organized structures is that of amyloid fibrils. The formation of these fibrils is the hallmark of major human disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. In this review we illustrate the molecular proper...

ion of the proton from the amino group of the monomer (phenyl 4-(alkylamino)benzoate) by the base, the reactivity of the phenyl ester moiety is deactivated, which prevents monomers from reacting with each other. The anion produced by proton abstraction from the monomer will only react with initiator, leading to an activated monomer that possesses a more reactive phenyl ester moiety compared to ...
متن کاملSurface Molecular Tailoring Using pH-Switchable Supramolecular Dendron-Ligand Assemblies
The rational design of materials with tailored properties is of paramount importance for a wide variety of biological, medical, electronic and optical applications. Here we report molecular level control over the spatial distribution of functional groups on surfaces utilizing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of pH-switchable surface-appended pseudorotaxanes. The supramolecular systems were cons...
متن کاملSupramolecular Assemblies with Dna*
Information storage in chemical and biological systems involves recognition processes occurring at the molecular and macromolecular level. The implementation of a “code” can consist of multiple noncovalent interactions, which include hydrogen bonds, π-stacking, hydrophobic interactions, and appropriate molecular and supramolecular architectures. With the double-helical DNA structure stabilized ...
متن کاملDesigning supramolecular protein assemblies.
Many natural proteins self-assemble, either to fulfill their biological function or as part of a pathogenic process. Biological assembly phenomena such as amyloidogenesis, domain swapping and symmetric oligomerization are inspiring new strategies for designing proteins that self-assemble to form supramolecular complexes. Recent advances include the design of novel proteins that assemble into fi...
