The incorporation of non‐canonical amino acids with aromatic side chains is considered to
be a promising way to improve and control the electronic properties of self‐assembled …

Charge transport across the peptide chains is one of the vital processes in the biological
systems, so understanding their charge transport properties is an indispensable prerequisite …

In the past two decades researchers have shown great interest in mimicking biological
structures and their complex structure–property relationships that have evolved from a small …

During the last two decades, numerous observed data obtained by various physical
techniques, also supported by molecular modeling approaches, have highlighted the …

Objective. Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disease
in elderly people. Toxic brain amyloid-beta (Aß) aggregates and ensuing cell death are …

Amyloid fibrils are exceptionally stable oligomeric structures with extensive, highly
cooperative H-bonding networks whose physical origin remains elusive. While nonpolar …

This review outlines the approaches and mechanisms through which peptides and amino
acids functionalize electrocatalytically active surfaces to promote or inhibit the …

Self-assembled biological nanofibers, such as protein amyloid fibrils or peptide nanotubes,
have the potential of making an enormous impact in future biosensor technologies because …

Examples of long-range electronic conductivity are rare in biological systems. The
observation of micrometer-scale electronic transport through protein wires produced by …

This thesis presents work on the heterogeneous chemistry of surfactant monolayers
adsorbed at the air-water interface with gas phase hydroxyl radicals (OH). A novel hydroxyl …
