Successful use of axonal transport for drug delivery by synthetic molecular vehicles
We report the use of axonal transport to achieve intraneural drug delivery. We constructed a novel tripartite complex of an axonal transport facilitator conjugated to a linker molecule bearing up t…

Decoding the Design Principles of Amino Acids and the Chemical Logic of Protein Sequences
That only 20 amino acids occur naturally accounting for the structural and functional diversity of proteins remains a mystery. We show here that this is a consequence of the action of a symmetry gr…
