Scientists have introduced a second molecule to achieve a donor–acceptor (push–pull) effect, aiming to enhance both the ...

Columbia University engineers 3D print self-assembling DNA - using biomolecular code to produce nanoscale devices at scale.

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

Enzyme induced self-assembly (EISA) leverages the expression of locally diseased enzymes within tumors to facilitate the self-assembly of small molecules into larger nanostructures capable of ...

Self-assembly articles from across Nature Portfolio Self-assembly is the process by which an organized structure spontaneously forms from individual components, as a result of specific, local ...

This work reports a mechanistic study of template-directed synthesis of silica nanomaterials utilizing self-assembled peptide nanotubes as scaffolds. An ultrashort amphiphilic peptide (I3K) underwent ...

Self-assembling peptides are rapidly gaining attention as novel biomaterials for food and biomedical applications. Peptides self-assemble when triggered by physical or chemical factors due to their ...

These findings highlight the critical interplay between aromatic interactions and solvation effects in guiding peptide self-assembly.

The assembly and fermentation effects were verified by metabolite statistics, and the feasibility of the multienzyme intracellular self-assembly complex of cellulosome was analyzed, which provided ...
