Fabrication of novel biomaterials through molecular self-assembly.

TL;DR: Two complementary strategies can be used in the fabrication of molecular biomaterials as discussed by the authors : chemical complementarity and structural compatibility, both of which confer the weak and noncovalent interactions that bind building blocks together during self-assembly.

Methods for producing members of specific binding pairs

TL;DR: In this paper, a member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbps members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof.

Synthesis and Function of 3-Phosphorylated Inositol Lipids

TL;DR: This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles.
