  abstract  = {A straightforward synthesis strategy to multimerize a peptide mimotopes for antibody B13-DE1 recognition is described based on lysine dendrons as multivalent scaffolds. Lysine dendrons that possess N-terminal alkyne residues at the periphery were quantitative functionalized with azido peptides using click chemistry. The solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) allows preparing the peptide dendron in high purity and establishing the possibility of automation. The presented peptide dendron is a promising candidate as multivalent ligand and was used for antibody B13-DE1 recognition. The binding affinity increases with higher dendron generation without loss of specificity. The analysis of biospecific interaction between the synthesized peptide dendron and the antibody was done via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. The presented results show a promising tool for investigations of antigen-antibody reactions.},

  abstract  = {A highly K+-selective two-photon fluorescent probe for the in vitro monitoring of physiological K+ levels in the range of 1-100 mM is reported. The two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) probe shows a fluorescence enhancement (FE) by a factor of about three in the presence of 160 mM K+, independently of one-photon (OP, 430 nm) or two-photon (TP, 860 nm) excitation and comparable K+-induced FEs in the presence of competitive Na+ ions. The estimated dissociation constant (K-d) values in Na+-free solutions (K-d(OP)=(28 +/- 5) mM and K-d(TP)=(36 +/- 6) mM) and in combined K+/Na+ solutions (K-d(OP)=(38 +/- 8) mM and K-d(TP)=(46 +/- 25) mM) reflecting the high K+/Na+ selectivity of the fluorescent probe. The TP absorption cross-section (sigma(2PA)) of the TPEF probe+160 mMK(+) is 26 GM at 860 nm. Therefore, the TPEF probe is a suitable tool for the in vitro determination of K+.},

  abstract  = {The development of novel dendrimers containing oligospiroketal (OSK) rods as building blocks is described. The linkage between the core unit (CU), branching units (BU), and OSK rods relies on the CuAAC reaction between terminal alkynes and azides. Two different strategies of dendrimer synthesis were investigated and it was found that the convergent approach is clearly superior to the divergent one. SAXS measurements and MD simulations indicate that the obtained dendrimer features a globular structure with very low density. Obviously, the OSK rods stabilize a rather loose mass-fractal structure.},

The syntheses of ARs were carried out by a flexible and modular approach providing access to a number of compounds with various functionalizations in terminal positions. First applications were presented with pyrene, cinnamoyl and anthracenyl labelled ARs.},
