Owing to their “dual” affinity, amphiphiles self-assemble in water to form different kinds of
nanoscale multimolecular assemblies ranging from simple micelles and vesicles to highly …

Peptides regulate many physiological processes, acting at some sites as endocrine or
paracrine signals and at others as neurotransmitters or growth factors, for instance. These …

Efficient enantiomer discrimination with a convenient system remains a challenge in the
fields of biochemistry, medical science, and pharmaceutics. Here we report a simple …

Critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of several surfactants in water have been determined
by conductivity measurements under hydrate-forming conditions (2° C; 40bar methane) and …

In this study, we demonstrated that liposomes composed of 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-
phosphocholine (DPPC) can recognize several l-amino acids, but not their d-enantiomers …

Drug delivery to the brain can be achieved by various means, including blood-brain barrier
(BBB) disruption, neurosurgical-based approaches, and molecular design. Recently …

Abstract Cu and Pt nanoparticles (NPs) were simultaneously integrated with glutathione
(GSH), and the resultant Cu-Pt NPs decorated GSH (GSH-Cu/Pt) was characterized by FT-IR …

On the basis of the exclusive existence of homochirality in biomolecules and the well-known
phenomenon of chiral recognition, it is obvious that chirality is a crucial factor in biological …

In the present contribution, we investigate the interactions of lipid bilayer membranes of
different charges and different phase states with aliphatic amino acids of varying charge …

Cells in living organisms are regulated by chemical and physical stimuli from their
environment. Often, ligands interact with membrane receptors to trigger responses and …
