Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in a number of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), movement disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system, cancer, diabetes, blindness and deafness. Mitochondrial defects are damaging, particularly to tissues with high energy demands such as neural and muscle tissues. Membrane-penetrating...

Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders associated with dysfunctional mitochondria, often caused by genetic mutations to mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial defects are damaging, particularly to tissues with high energy demands such as neural and muscle tissues. Energetic defects have been implicated in forms of movement disorders, cardiomyopathy,...

There is tremendous diversity in the structure and function of peptides and proteins, thus peptide and protein engineering is an area of intense interest. There are many means to accomplish peptide and protein engineering, but the overarching goal is to design and engineer the chemical structure to improve the molecular properties and achieve increased...
