Journal ArticleDOI
γ-AApeptides: Design, Structure, and Applications
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, through combinatorial selection, certain γ-AApeptides are identified to inhibit Aβ40 peptide aggregation, suggesting their potential use as a molecular probe to intervene in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modular Design of Membrane-Active Antibiotics: From Macromolecular Antimicrobials to Small Scorpionlike Peptidomimetics.
Minghui Wang,Xiaoqian Feng,Xiaoqian Feng,Ruixuan Gao,Peng Sang,Xin Pan,Lulu Wei,Chao Lu,Chuanbin Wu,Jianfeng Cai +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, host defense peptides (HDPs) were used to reverse the dangerous trend of multidrug-resistant bacteria caused by multi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sustainability of Energy Conversion Inhibition for Tumor Ferroptosis Therapy and Chemotherapy
TL;DR: In this paper, the intelligent nanoparticles (P-B-D NPs) obtained by loading BAY-876 and doxorubicin (Dox)-Duplex into nanoparticles composed of disulfide bond (S�S) containing polymer are reported, which provide an efficient resistance of tumor cells energy metabolism and tumor growth to conquer malignant tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of lipo-α/sulfono-γ-AA hybrid peptides
TL;DR: Membrane depolarization and fluorescence microscopy studies indicate that these short lipo-α/sulfono-γ-AA hybrid peptides can mimic the mechanisms of HDPs to kill bacteria by disrupting bacterial membranes and lead to a new class of antibiotic agents to combat drug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis of head-to-tail cyclic sulfono-γ-AApeptides
Haifan Wu,Fengyu She,Wen-Yang Gao,Austin Prince,Yaqiong Li,Lulu Wei,Allison M. Mercer,Lukasz Wojtas,Shengqian Ma,Jianfeng Cai +9 more
TL;DR: Following this method, a number of cyclic sequences bearing two to five subunits were efficiently synthesized and the X-ray crystal structure study of a three-membered cyclic sulfono-γ-AApeptide revealed a type II β-turn-like character.
