A first step towards the programmed assembly of water soluble peptidomimetic helices
 

IECB teams have developed biomimetic helices with the ability to self-assemble into homogeneous protein like architectures in aqueous conditions. These results have just been released in the journal Nature Chemistry.

A new hope against pathogenic bacteria

Two teams of the IECB collaborating with a research team from the University of Munich have revealed how insect-derived antimicrobial peptides target the protein synthesizing machinery in bacteria. These results may in turn lay the foundations for the development of novel or improved antibiotics and have just been released in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.
