Here we describe the facile generation of tetravalent peptide conjugates via a copper(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) using a cyclic peptide template as a versatile conjugation scaffold. This stable and rigid framework is a conformationally constrained cyclic beta-sheet decorated with
BMP-2 and TGF-β1 released from injectable thermoresponsive hydrogels are studied in the presence and absence of branched macromolecules bearing BMP-2 or TGF-β1 affinity binding peptides. The synthesized branched macromolecules and the gelling compositions before and after loading with either BMP-2

Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins with an array of biological effects. With this study, we investigated for the first time the application of atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) as an ionization method for LC-MS analysis of ergot alkaloids, and compared its performance
