Dendron-Mediated Self-Assembly, Disassembly, and Self-Organization of Complex Systems
Brad M. Rosen,Christopher J. Wilson,Daniela A. Wilson,Mihai Peterca,Mohammad R. Imam,Virgil Percec +5 more
TL;DR: The structural origin of chirality in different supramolecular structures through combinations of structural analysis methods has been investigated in this article, where the most ideal building blocks would need to display shape persistence in solution and in the solid state, since only this feature provides access to the use of complementary methods of structural analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembly of amphiphilic dendritic dipeptides into helical pores
Virgil Percec,Andrés E. Dulcey,Venkatachalapathy S. K. Balagurusamy,Yoshiko Miura,Jan Smidrkal,Mihai Peterca,Sami Nummelin,Ulrica Edlund,Steven D. Hudson,Paul A. Heiney,H. Duan,Sergei Magonov,Sergei A. Vinogradov +12 more
TL;DR: A library of amphiphilic dendritic dipeptides that self-assemble in solution and in bulk through a complex recognition process into helical pores is described, finding that the molecular recognition and self-assembly process is sufficiently robust to tolerate a range of modifications to the amphiphile structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modular Synthesis of Amphiphilic Janus Glycodendrimers and Their Self-Assembly into Glycodendrimersomes and Other Complex Architectures with Bioactivity to Biomedically Relevant Lectins
Virgil Percec,Pawaret Leowanawat,Hao-Jan Sun,Oleg V. Kulikov,Christopher D. Nusbaum,Tam Tran,Annabelle Bertin,Daniela A. Wilson,Mihai Peterca,Shaodong Zhang,Neha P. Kamat,Kevin B. Vargo,Diana Moock,Eric D. Johnston,Daniel A. Hammer,Darrin J. Pochan,Yingchao Chen,Yoann M. Chabre,Tze Chieh Shiao,Milan Bergeron-Brlek,Sabine André,René Roy,Hans J. Gabius,Paul A. Heiney +23 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated the candidacy of glycodendrimersomes as new mimics of biological membranes with programmable glycan ligand presentations, as supramolecular lectin blockers, vaccines, and targeted delivery devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoreversible cis-cisoidal to cis-transoidal isomerization of helical dendronized polyphenylacetylenes.
Virgil Percec,Jonathan G. Rudick,Mihai Peterca,Martin Wagner,Makoto Obata,Catherine M. Mitchell,Wook-Dong Cho,Venkatachalapathy S. K. Balagurusamy,Paul A. Heiney +8 more
TL;DR: High cis content (81-99%) cis-transoidal polyphenylacetylene (PPA) jacketed with amphiphilic self-assembling dendrons, poly[(3,4-3,5)mG2-4EBn] with m = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyl, were synthesized by Rh(C triple bond CPh)(nbd)(PPh(3
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomechanical function from self-organizable dendronized helical polyphenylacetylenes.
TL;DR: Nanomechanical function is demonstrated by a library of self-organizable dendronized cis-transoidal polyphenylacetylenes ( cis-PPAs) that possess a first-order phase transition from a hexagonal columnar lattice with internal order to a hexagon columnar liquid crystal phase.
