Recent advances in the chemistry of fullerene have allowed the synthesis of many classes of novel fullerene derivatives. Among these classes, fullerene-based amino acids and peptides are particularly interesting, both for structural studies and biological applications. In this review, we will discuss our own achievements in this rapidly growing field.
