Open AccessExtraction and reconstitution of membrane proteins into lipid nanodiscs encased by zwitterionic styrene-maleic amide copolymers
Membrane proteins can be reconstituted in polymer-encased nanodiscs for studies under near-physiological conditions and in the absence of detergents, but traditional styrene-maleic acid copolymers used for thi...

Synthesis of Lysine Mimicking Membrane Active Antimicrobial Polymers
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a major health concern. Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are efficient in killing most microbes and yet the development of resistance to AMPs is rare. Although AMPs show promi...
