Receptor-Mediated Transmembrane Activation of Protein Folding in Synthetic Cells

- Research news

An article from the Zelikin lab just published in Bioconjugate Chemistry has been selected as the American Chemical Society Editor´s Choice (the one article chosen each day from the entire ACS portfolio to be highlighted for quality and/or broad interest).

Distinct Network Morphologies from In Situ Polymerization of Microtubules in Giant Polymer-Lipid Hybrid Vesicles

- Research news

Creating artificial cells with a dynamic cytoskeleton, akin to those in living cells, is a major goal in bottom-up synthetic biology. In this study, we demonstrate the in situ polymerization of microtubules encapsulated in giant polymer-lipid hybrid vesicles (GHVs) composed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and an amphiphilic block copolymer. The block copolymer is comprised of poly(cholesteryl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate) as the hydrophobic block and either…

Cell Membrane Vesicle Camouflaged Artificial Cells

- Research news

The integration of artificial and mammalian cells into semi-synthetic aggregates remains a challenge in bottom-up synthetic biology. Here, the fabrication of cell membrane vesicles (CMV) from HepG2 cells and their use as a coating for alginate microgels to produce camouflaged artificial cells (ACs) is demonstrated. These ACs are used for the assembly of either synthetic aggregates or semi-synthetic aggregates. In the first case, a predator-defendant and a liver-like synthetic aggregates are…

Researchers propose a roadmap towards the synthesis of life

- Research news

A new perspective article by 57 international researchers, including Associate Professor Ebbe Sloth Andersen, outlines a roadmap for the synthesis of life. The paper explores key traits like resilience, sustainability, and evolution, and how synthetic life could revolutionize biotechnology, medicine, and materials science.

Single-Molecule Multivalent Interactions Revealed by Plasmon-Enhanced FluorescenceClick to copy article link

- Research news

Multivalency as an interaction principle is widely utilized in nature. It enables specific and strong binding by multiple weak interactions through enhanced avidity and is a core process in immune recognition and cellular signaling, which is also a current concept in drug design. Here, we use the high signals from plasmon-enhanced fluorescence of nanoparticles to extract binding kinetics and dynamics of multivalent interactions on the single-molecule level and in real time. We study mono-, bi-,…
