Scientists even managed to visualize self-assembly of peptides at unprecedented molecular resolution. They used frequency modulated atomic force microscopy to reveal the molecular architecture of a ...

Here, the authors use aminoacyl phosphate esters that drive selective peptide bond formation through side chain-controlled reactivity and self-assembly, resulting in the preferential incorporation ...

Achieving this vision depends critically on the construction and design of self-assembled systems, novel representations of synthetic cellularity, and re-engineering of minimal cells, all of which ...

Protein accumulations do important work in the human body, but something can go wrong and proliferate in those aggregates, ...
