Proteins are vital biomolecules responsible for performing various functions in the human body and are thus regarded as the workhorses of a cell. The primary structure of a protein is composed of ...

Researchers from The Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology and The Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo used a new computer simulation to model the electrostatic ...

Defects are often considered as the active sites for chemical reactions. Here a variety of defects in zeolites are used to stabilize zwitterionic glycine that is not self-stable in gas phase; in ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new drug delivering molecule, a zwitterionic polymer complex that can help get plasmid DNA inside cells when injected into skeletal muscle ...

Zwitterionic nanoparticle drug delivery systems exploit surface chemistries bearing equal densities of positive and negative charges to achieve exceptional hydrophilicity and protein resistance. By ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a new electrolyte additive that significantly improves the ...

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 ...

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 ...
