The formation of aggregates due to protein misfolding and resulting protein instability is associated with several diseases. Previous studies have shown the potential of sulfobetaine polymer, a ...

ZwitterCo has raised $33 million to continue development and production of membranes that clean wastewater. The company says its membranes are built with zwitterionic copolymers—molecules that have ...

Reactions with the unstable and highly reactive zwitterionic intermediates generated in processes catalysed by transition metals are providing new opportunities for molecular constructions. Insertion ...

The research team has developed a nanostructured antifouling coating that dramatically improves the performance and stability of the electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) biosensors used to monitor ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the major goals in nanomedicine is to make targeted nanoparticles for effective imaging and delivery applications. To that end, various surface functionalization strategies ...

Scientists at the University of Sydney are developing a zwitterionic coating, that can be used on medical devices and implants like heart valves and stents to prevent blood clotting. Zwitterions are ...

A breakthrough study in Nano-Micro Letters led by Limeng Sun, Xianjun Cao and Hao Liu presents an organic-assist pre-construction (OAPC) strategy that grafts a densely packed, ...

Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...
