Functionalization and Metal Ion Encapsulation Within a Triaxial Supramolecular Weave

ABSTRACT Molecular weaving has attracted much interest in recent years. Supramolecular organic weaves offer many benefits, such as error correction, but their functionalization is challenging, as even minor modifications to the building blocks can disrupt self‐assembly. In this s...

Lysine Oxidation by LOXL2 in Single Strands Versus Triple Helices: Implications for Collagen‐Related Diseases

ABSTRACT Collagen cross‐linking is essential for the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix. In several pathological conditions, the triple‐helical core of collagen is disrupted, and proline‐rich single strands occur. Lysyl oxidases (LOXs), enzymes that initiate cross‐l...
