Metallofoldamers: Supramolecular Architectures from Helicates to Biomimetics
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Metallofoldamers: From Helicates to Biomimetic Architectures describes the variety of interactions between oligomers and metal species, with a focus on non-natural synthetic molecules.
Topics covered include:
- the major classes of foldamers and their folding driving force
- metalloproteins and metalloenzymes
- helicates: self-assembly, structure and applications
- abiotic metallo-DNA
- metallo-PNA and iDNA
- metallopeptides
- interactions of biomimetic oligomers with metal ions
- applications of metallofoldamers

Professor Dr. Markus Albrecht: Institut für Organische Chemie, RWTH Aachen, Germany
Professor Albrecht was born in 1964 and studied Chemistry in Würzburg and Münster, spending time as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratories of Professor Kenneth N. Raymond in Berkeley, and a habilitation at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Karlsruhe. Since 2002 he has been Professor of Organic Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen, where his main topics of investigation are the self-assembly, structure and property of helicates, and influencing peptide conformations by metal coordination.
Dr. Galia Maayan: The Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, USA
Dr Maayan was born in 1974 and studied Chemistry at Tel Aviv University and at The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. She is currently a postdoctoral research associate with Professor Michael D. Ward and Kent Kirshenbaum, in the Molecular Design Institute at New York University, investigating the interaction between biomimetic foldamers and metal ions.
