Figure 1: Snapshot of a peptoid nanosheet obtained from molecular-dynamics simulations. Figure 3: Peptoids shorter than 12 residues do not form stable nanosheets. The stability of extended, planar ...

Researchers have developed peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between oil and water, opening the door to increased structural complexity and chemical functionality for a broad range of ...

Just as bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance, viruses can also evade drug treatments. Developing therapies against these microbes is difficult because viruses often mutate or hide themselves ...

Peptoid nanosheets are a single layer of crystals made from the spontaneous stacking of peptoid chains into parallel rows. Individual nanosheets floating in water were rapidly frozen and imaged by ...

Scientists have manufactured a synthetic form of peptide to combat viral infections, with successful tests already conducted on HSV-1 as well as SARS-CoV-2, showing no signs of cytotoxicity and ...

A team of researchers from Washington State University (WSU) and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed an artificial peptoid-based enzyme that can ...

Because peptoids are relatively easy to synthesize, have tremendous sequence diversity, and are more proteolytically stable than peptides and proteins, they have significant potential for use as APIs, ...

Every day it seems you can find a headline somewhere describing the extraordinary progress scientists have made in developing cell and gene therapies for rare genetic diseases, a variety of cancers, ...

FORT BELVOIR, Va. (Dec. 23, 2013) -- New, bio-inspired plastics could sense and degrade chemical and biological agents, ultimately saving the lives of warfighters, first responders and civilians. DTRA ...

From the people who brought us peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between air and water, now come peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between oil and water. Scientists at the U.S.
