Supramolecular biomaterials.
Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and reversible non-covalent interactions offer unprecedented advantages: they enable modular and generalizable platforms with tunable mechanical, chemical and biological properties. Indeed, the reversible nature of supr...
متن کاملEnhancing biological information systems with granularity
ion is related to granularity, which is the process to go from a detailed to simplified representation – i.e. going from fine to coarse-grained levels of granularity. Without pre-defined levels, application support for abstraction is limited to manual procedures, syntax, and heuristics [4]. 3. Proposed solution 3.1 The vision The aim of this research is to develop a formal, domainand implementa...
متن کاملPolyvalent Interactions in Biological Systems: Implications for Design and Use of Multivalent Ligands and Inhibitors**
to a target cell occurs through multiple simultaneous interactions between hemagglutinin (HA) and sialic acid (SA)Ðthis is an example of a polyvalent interaction. The attachment can be blocked effectively by an inhibitor that is itself polyvalent.
متن کاملEngineering responsive supramolecular biomaterials: Toward smart therapeutics
Engineering materials using supramolecular principles enables generalizable and modular platforms that have tunable chemical, mechanical, and biological properties. Applying this bottom-up, molecular engineering-based approach to therapeutic design affords unmatched control of emergent properties and functionalities. In preparing responsive materials for biomedical applications, the dynamic cha...
متن کاملMultivalent Binding in the Design of Bioactive Compounds
Over the past several years, much research has centered on the development of small molecules that, through multivalent binding interactions, enhance the regulation of fundamental biological functions. The design of a wide range of potential therapeutics focuses on mimicking natural systems that control the biological effect of protein-ligand interactions through multivalency. In this review, t...
