Cyclic dipeptides, also know as diketopiperazines (DKP), the simplest cyclic forms of
peptides widespread in nature, are unsurpassed in their structural and bio-functional …

Diketopiperazines are the smallest cyclic peptides known. 90% of Gram-negative bacteria
produce diketopiperazines and they have also been isolated from Gram-positive bacteria …

Cyclodipeptides are secondary metabolites biosynthesized by many bacteria and exhibit a
wide array of biological activities. Recently, a new class of small proteins, named …

Pulcherriminic acid is a cyclic dipeptide found mainly in Bacillus and yeast. Due to the ability

The synthesis of conjugated polymers with ionic substituents directly bound to their main
chain repeat units is a strategy for generating strongly electron‐accepting conjugated …

Human (Hu) familial prion diseases are associated with about 40 point mutations of the
gene coding for the prion protein (PrP). Most of the variants associated with these mutations …

Alzheimeŕs disease (AD) is the most prominent neurodegenerative disorder with high
medical need. Protein-protein-interactions (PPI) interactions have a critical role in AD where …

Protein misfolding is a process in which proteins are unable to attain or maintain their
biologically active conformation. Factors contributing to protein misfolding include missense …

Conjugated polymers (CPs) are pivotal for high-mobility applications, typically avoiding
nonconjugated units due to their perceived negative impact on charge transport. Contrary to …
