Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine against Hookworm Infection

Hookworms infect more people than HIV and malaria combined, predominantly in third world countries. Treatment of infection with chemotherapy can have limited efficacy and re-infections after treatment are common. Heavy infection often leads to debilitating diseases. All these factors suggest an urgent need for development of vaccine. In an attempt to develop a vaccine targeting the major human ...

Peptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance

Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...

Tuning the pH-triggered self-assembly of dendritic peptide amphiphiles using fluorinated side chains.

We report the synthesis of a series of anionic dendritic peptide amphiphiles of increasing hydrophobic character. By establishing state diagrams we describe their pH and ionic strength triggered self-assembly into supramolecular nanorods in water and highlight the impact of hydrophobic shielding in the supramolecular polymerisation process. Via the incorporation of fluorinated peptide side chai...

Thermally and photochemically triggered self-assembly of peptide hydrogels.

Self-assembling systems present attractive platforms for engineering stimulus-responsive materials with controlled nanoand microstructures. Recent efforts to design such systems include synthetic block copolymers,1a proteins that self-assemble into hydrogels via leucine zipper motifs,1b cyclic peptides that selfassemble into nanotubes,1c-e and peptides that form fibrillar â-sheet networks.1f-i ...
