The late-stage peptide functionalization with salicylaldehyde (SA) tags is described here as a versatile design of potential Lys-engaging, reversible-covalent ligands. This approach was applied to a known binder for NEMO, a protein involved in...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have great potential to be developed as topical treatments for microbial infections of the skin, including those caused by the gram-positive human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Among the AMPs, temporin B (TB)...
A large number of drugs are characterized by limited brain penetrability. The development of advanced delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, may help overcome the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and increase brain accessibility (Spinelli et al.,...
In nature, organisms living in extreme environmental conditions produce antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that prevent the growth of ice crystals and depress the freezing point of body fluids. In this study, three different peptides derived...

Self-assembled peptides are used for diverse applications in the biomedical and technological fields. The morphology and function of the assembled systems are dictated by the peptide sequence and length. In thiswork, a supramolecular catalyst...
Aggregation-induced emitting (AIE) luminophores are sensitive and easy-to-handle types of robes that allow driving a stimulus-responsive off/on optical tool through the manipulation of the aggregation behavior. In this work, tetraphenylethene (TPE)-phenylalanine derivatives, haracterized by...

A dimeric cyclic cysteine analogue, i.e. (1R,1’R,2R,2’R)-2,2’-disulfanediylbis (aminocyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid), was used as a constrained unnatural amino acid and as a folding inducer in ultra-short Leu-Val-containing peptide. Our results showed that both free dimer amino...
The design and synthesis of a series of peptide derivatives based on a short ACE2 α-helix 1 epitope and subsequent [i – i+4] stapling of the secondary structure resulted in the identification of a...
