The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

Peptides that contain β-amino acids display stable secondary structures, such as helices
and sheets, and are often referred to as foldamers. Cyclic β2, 3-amino acids (cβAAs), such …

Amphiphilic self-assembling peptides are widely used in tissue and cell engineering,
antimicrobials, drug-delivery systems and other biomedical fields due to their good …

The treatment of bacterial infections is hindered by the presence of biofilms and
metabolically inactive persisters. Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co …

Due to their unique characteristics, which are not shared by canonical α-peptides, peptides
that contain stretches of consecutive β-amino acids are attractive scaffolds for novel peptide …

The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with
stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet …

Emerging protein design strategies are enabling the creation of diverse, self-assembling
supramolecular structures with precision on the atomic scale. The design possibilities …

Flexible and biocompatible metal peptide frameworks (MPFs) derived from short and ultra‐
short peptides have been explored for the storage of greenhouse gases, molecular …

Different classes of foldamers, which are synthetic oligomers that adopt well-defined
conformations in solution, have been the subject of extensive studies devoted to the …
