De novo design of biomimetic antimicrobial polymers.
The design of polymers and oligomers that mimic the complex structures and remarkable biological properties of proteins is an important endeavor with both fundamental and practical implications. Recently, a number of nonnatural peptides with designed sequences have been elaborated to provide biologically active structures; in particular, facially amphiphilic peptides built from beta-amino acids...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Biomimetic Excitable Cell Using Electro-active Polymers
Electro-active polymers are being used to develop a biomimetic excitable gel-cell, through which ion species flow to produce excitability and refractoriness, as found in the biological cardiac myocyte (CM). The artificial gel-cell is composed of a thin ionic gating membrane made of polypyrrole (PPy) sandwiched between two areas of ionic liquid polymer gel (ILPG). ILPG is a soft gelatinous mater...
متن کاملDesign of antimicrobially active small amphiphilic peptide dendrimers.
Novel polyfunctional small amphiphilic peptide dendrimers characterized by incorporation of a new core compounds - tris-amino acids or tetrakis-amino alcohols that originated from a series of basic amino acids - were efficiently synthesized. These new core elements yielded molecules with multiple branching and (+5)/(+6) charge at the 1-st dendrimer generation. Dendrimers exhibited significant a...
متن کاملChelating Amphiphilic Polymers Field of the Invention
Described are amphiphilic polymers that are provided with chelating moieties. The amphiphilic polymers are block copolymers comprising a hydrophilic block and a hydropho bic block, with the chelating moieties linked to the end-group of the hydrophilic block. The disclosed polymers are capable of self-assembly into structures Such as micelles and poly mersomes. With suitable metals present in th...
متن کاملDesign of a Biomimetic Active Tactile Sensor for Legged Locomotion
Many insects actively move their antennae during locomotion. In case of the stick insect, these movements are known to aid efficient leg coordination when walking on rough terrain. Based upon design principles of an insect antenna, we suggest to employ a biomimetic active tactile sensor to guide leg movements of walking machines. We analyse the impact of various kinematic parameters on the work...
