Abstract
The relatively simple peptides assembled on the templates are excellent mimic of complex conformational and functional defined binding sites of proteins. The main benefit of experiments with artificial receptors arises from the relative simplicity of the interacting host-guest system allowing the understanding of the rules controlling the model process of the molecular recognition. Efficient modification of molecular receptors by using rational design of their structure or combinatorial methods is crucial for verification of any hypothesis concerning the binding forces or enhancing the binding properties. This approach is presenting promising strategy for understanding mode of action and the control of biological functions of proteins, for designing new pharmaceutically active compounds, new tools for medical diagnostic and molecular sensing.
Keywords: artificial protein mimics, cellulose, combinatorial chemistry, molecular receptor, protein binding, host-guest interactions.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
