TL;DR

This work focused on adding modularity and dynamic capability to this classical model by leveraging a multivalent macromolecular approach to TPD, where peptide amphiphiles were designed to self-assemble into high-aspect-ratio supramolecular nanofibers and present peptide epitopes on the surface of the fibers to target simultaneous binding of α-Syn.

Artificial Synthetic Protein Mimetics As Pathology-Targeted Therapeutics

Protein-Protein interactions are imperative for the regulation of a myriad of physiological processes including cellular homeostasis, cell signaling, immune response, genetic replication, and metabolism. Upon mutation or under conditions of cellular stress, proteins can become misfolded leading to aberrant Protein-Prot...

Synthetic Protein Mimetic Based Therapies for Neurodegeneration

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for the regulation of a majority of, if not every fundamental cellular process. Despite their role in regular biological processes, dysregulated and/or aberrant protein-protein interactions (aPPIs) are often related to the onset of disease including cancer, viral infectio...
