Simple surface functionalization of polymersomes using non-antibacterial peptide anchors
BACKGROUND Hollow vesicles formed from block copolymers, so-called polymersomes, have been extensively studied in the last decade for their various applications in drug delivery, in diagnostics and as nanoreactors. The immobilization of proteins on the polymersomes' surface can aid in cell targeting, lead to functional biosensors or add an additional reaction space for multistep syntheses. In a...
متن کاملA Simple Peptide Spontaneously Anchors Rna to Giant Lipidic Vesicles
In order to understand the transition from chemical evolution to Darwinian evolution, we are attempting to synthesize extremely simple artificial cells. I will present recent experimental progress towards the development of one of the key components of such a protocell, namely a self-replicating nucleic acid genome. INTRODUCTION, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION The earliest living cells must...
متن کاملSurface Functionalization of Exosomes Using Click Chemistry
A method for conjugation of ligands to the surface of exosomes was developed using click chemistry. Copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (click chemistry) is ideal for biocojugation of small molecules and macromolecules to the surface of exosomes, due to fast reaction times, high specificity, and compatibility in aqueous buffers. Exosomes cross-linked with alkyne groups using carbodiimid...
متن کاملChemical synthesis and functionalization of clickable glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors.
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchorage is a common posttranslational modification of eukaryotic proteins. Chemical synthesis of structurally defined GPIs and GPI derivatives is a necessary step toward understanding the properties and functions of these molecules in biological systems. In this work, the synthesis of several functionalized GPI anchors was accomplished using the para-methoxy...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of an Antibacterial, Antifungal and Non Hemolytic Peptide from Rana Ridibunda
Amphibians have a large variety of antimicrobial peptides that serve as natural innate barriers limiting microbial infection or, in some instances, act as an integral component in response to inflammation or microbial infection. A novel peptide with antibacterial effects and without hemolytic activity was purified from skin secretions of Rana ridibunda by multisteps cation-exchange FPLC, revers...
