Molecular Electronics and Transistors based on Peptide Nanostructures
The TechnologyProprietary peptide nanostructures1 can be readily fabricated on various surfaces including electrodes2,4. A physical vapor deposition method (PVD) allows the precise control on the molecular dimensions of the structures using industry standard techniques. These nanostructures were used to fabricate metallic nanowires1 as well as trilayer metal-peptide-metal nano-cables3. Electrodes and storages devices were modified with […] Read More >
Protection of Oxygen-Sensitive-Enzymes by Peptide Hydrogel
Molecular oxygen (O2) is a highly reactive oxidizing agent harmful to many biological and industrial systems. A simple encapsulation in a protective aqueous environment of O2 -sensitive reactions is of need. Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels are simple hydrogels that can be combined with a wide variety of reagents and are able to encage O2 and significantly limit its […] Read More >
Jellyfish׳ Collagen-Based Smart Wound Dressing with Antibacterial Properties
Collagen-based dressing in wounds greatly benefits the healing process. Unfortunately, most collagen is extracted from bovine tissues, which bears a significant risk of transmitting various biological contaminations. Moreover, the collagen extraction process from bovine tissue involves time and cost-consuming steps, reducing the total collagen yield and increasing the overall cost of goods. In addition, the […] Read More >
Development of Improved Peptide Inhibitors of the HIF/PHD Interaction – Anemia and HIF – Related Diseases
Modern drugs are molecules that interfere with the activity of a specific protein related to a target disease. Within this realm, new molecules capable of interfering with protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are in the heart of modern drug discovery. However, the discovery or de-novo design of new molecules is often hampered by the lack of structural […] Read More >
