Protein‐polymer conjugates represent a dynamic class of hybrid materials that combine the inherent biological function and specificity of proteins with the versatile properties of synthetic polymers.
On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...
Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...
A chemistry professor has developed two processes using proteins and textiles respectively to create new materials. As a first experiment of two, Charles Kumar, professor emeritus of chemistry at the ...
Recent studies have identified that the global aggregation of macro-plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental concerns, having an impact on all living forms, ecological processes, and ...
(Nanowerk News) Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone ...
Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...
When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
Researchers have synthesized a bio-inspired polymer for water purification. The polymer was designed to mimic phytochelatin, a plant protein that selectively captures and neutralizes harmful heavy ...
