Accurately assessing the interfacial composition and reactivity of (bio)polymers under controlled but environmentally relevant conditions remains challenging. This study explores the evolution of surface functionalities of novel polyesters Poly(Butylene Xy ...

The density of a protein molecule is a key property within a variety of experimental techniques. We present a computational method for determining protein mass density that explicitly incorporates hydration effects. Our approach uses molecular dynamics sim ...

Whole-cell biophotovoltaic (BPV) devices leverage photoautotrophic microorganisms like cyanobacteria to convert sunlight and water into bioelectricity. They are capable of growing on sequestered carbon dioxide (CO2), eliminating the need to add exogenous o ...

Dwindling fossil resources and their associated environmental concerns have increased interest in biobased products. In particular, many approaches to convert lignocellulosic biomass into small-molecule building blocks are being explored via thermal, chemi ...

Realizing high‐quality perovskite films through uniform defect passivation and crystallization control is pivotal to unlocking the potential of scalable applications. However, prevalent small‐molecule additives are inherently susceptible to the crystalliza ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of life, driving essential biological processes such as enzymatic catalysis, cellular signaling, and immune responses. The ability to design entirely new proteins with desired structures and functions has immense implica ...

Chlorinated compounds are ubiquitous. However, accumulation of chlorine-containing waste has a negative impact on human health and the environment due to the inapplicability of common disposal methods, such as landfill and incineration. Here we report a su ...

In this paper, we quantify weak protein-protein interactions in solution using cross-interaction chromatography (CIC) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and demonstrate that they can be modulated by the addition of millimolar concentrations of free amino ...

Amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s are an attractive class of polymers that are of interest for a variety of biomedical applications. Generally, amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s are prepared by polymerization of diamines, which are obtained from the corr ...

Alcohols are ubiquitous in nature and are present in a wide range of biomass-derived compounds, including sugars, lignin monomers, and amino acids. As a result, they offer significant potential as substrates for the development of new transformations, part ...

Ought to their bioinert properties and facile synthesis, poly[(oligoethylene glycol)methacrylate]s (POEGMAs) have been raised as attractive alternatives to poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) in an array of (bio)material applications, especially when they are ap ...

The early branching eukaryote Naegleria gruberi can transform transiently from an amoeboid life form lacking centrioles and flagella to a flagellate life form where these elements are present, followed by reversion to the amoeboid state. The mechanisms imp ...

The self-assembly of molecular components into organized nanomaterials is a fundamental process observed in nature, crucial for various biological functions. Gaining a deepened understanding of the underlying self-assembly principles provides valuable insi ...

Protein-based materials are biocompatible and have a variety of remarkable properties; consequently, they are finding more and more applications. Nature recycles proteins in multiple ways, ranging from bio-degradation (a slow approach) to fast recycling of ...
