“Peptoids at the 7th Summit: Toward Macromolecular Systems Engineering” [8 page pdf] kicks off the peptoid special issue of Biopolymers: Peptide Science. All the papers are open access. In peptoid ...

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 ...

Peptoid nanomaterials have emerged as a versatile class of synthetic polymers that mimic the structure and function of natural biomacromolecules. Their unique chemical versatility is rooted in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Creating the materials used for some of the most intricate nanostructures in drug delivery sometimes requires going back to the basics. In the case of researchers at the University of Oregon and the ...

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 ...
