Abstract
Getting inspiration from nature and further developing functional architectures provides an effective way to design innovative materials and systems. Among bio-inspired materials, dipeptides and its self-assembled architectures with functionalities have recently been the subject of intensive studies. However, there is still a great challenge to explore its applications likely due to the lack of effective adaptation of their self-assembled structures as well as a lack of understanding of the self-assembly mechanisms. In this context, taking diphenylalanine (FF, a core recognition motif for molecular self-assembly of the Alzheimer's β-amyloid polypeptides) as a model of bio-inspired dipeptides, recent strategies on modulation of dipeptide-based architectures were introduced with regard to both covalent (architectures modulation by coupling functional groups) and non-covalent ways (controlled architectures by different assembly pathways). Then, applications are highlighted in some newly emerging fields of innovative photoelectronic devices and materials, such as artificial photosynthetic systems for renewable solar energy storage and renewable optical waveguiding materials for optoelectronic devices. At last, the challenges and future perspectives of these bio-inspired dipeptides are also addressed.

Abstract
Peptide self-assembly is an attractive route for the synthesis of intricate organic nanostructures that possess remarkable structural variety and biocompatibility. Recent studies on peptide-based, self-assembled materials have expanded beyond the construction of high-order architectures; they are now reporting new functional materials that have application in the emerging fields such as artificial photosynthesis and rechargeable batteries. Nevertheless, there have been few reviews particularly concentrating on such versatile, emerging applications. Herein, recent advances in the synthesis of self-assembled peptide nanomaterials (e.g., cross β-sheet-based amyloid nanostructures, peptide amphiphiles) are selectively reviewed and their new applications in diverse, interdisciplinary fields are described, ranging from optics and energy storage/conversion to healthcare. The applications of peptide-based self-assembled materials in unconventional fields are also highlighted, such as photoluminescent peptide nanostructures, artificial photosynthetic peptide nanomaterials, and lithium-ion battery components. The relation of such functional materials to the rapidly progressing biomedical applications of peptide self-assembly, which include biosensors/chips and regenerative medicine, are discussed. The combination of strategies shown in these applications would further promote the discovery of novel, functional, small materials.

Abstract
Controlling the self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide (FF) into various nanoarchitectures has received great amounts of attention in recent years. Here, we report the temperature-induced reversible self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide to microtubes, nanowires, or organogel in different solvents. We also find that the organogel in isopropanol transforms into crystalline flakes or nanowires when the temperature increases. The reversible self-assembly in polar solvents may be mainly controlled by electronic and aromatic interactions between the FF molecules themselves, which is associated with the dissociation equilibrium and significantly influenced by temperature. We found that the organogel in the isopropanol solvent made a unique transition to crystalline structures, a process that is driven by temperature and may be kinetically controlled. During the heating-cooling process, FF preferentially self-assembles to metastable nanofibers and organogel. They further transform to thermodynamically stable crystal structures via molecular rearrangement after introducing an external energy, such as the increasing temperature used in this study. The strategy demonstrated in this study provides an efficient way to controllably fabricate smart, temperature-responsive peptide nanomaterials and enriches the understanding of the growth mechanism of diphenylalanine peptide nanostructures.

Abstract
We have developed a nonenzymatic biosensor for the detection of ammonia and urea oxidation based on the deposition of peptide microstructures onto thiolated gold electrodes. FF-MNSs/MCP/Au assemblies were obtained by modifying gold substrates with 4-mercaptopyridine (MCP), followed by coating with l,l-diphenylalanine micro/nanostructures (FF-MNSs) grown in the solid-vapor phase. Benzene rings and amide groups with peptide micro/nanostructures interact with synthetic NH4(+) receptors through cation-π and hydrogen bonding. AuOH clusters on the Au surface provided the catalytic sites. The application of a predetermined concentration of analytes at the peptide interfaces activated the catalytic sites. We observed a relationship between the stability of films and the crystal structure of peptides, and we organized the FF-MNSs into an orthorhombic symmetry that was the most suitable assembly for creation of our biosensors. At 0.1 mol L(-1) NaOH, these FF-MNSs/MCP/Au electrodes have electrocatalytic properties regarding ammonia and urea oxidation that are comparable to those of enzyme-based architectures. Under optimal conditions, the electrocatalytic response is proportional to the ammonia and urea concentration in the range 0.1-1.0 mmol L(-1). The sensitivity was calculated as 2.83 and 81.3 μA mmol L(-1) cm(-2) for ammonia and urea, respectively, at +0.40 V (vs SCE). Our detection method is easy to follow, does not require a mediator or enzyme, and has strong potential for detecting urea via nonenzymatic routes.

Abstract
Thermally induced phase transformation in bioorganic nanotubes, which self-assembled from two ultrashort dipeptides of different origin, aromatic diphenylalanine (FF) and aliphatic dileucine (LL), is studied. In both FF and LL nanotubes, irreversible phase transformation found at 120-180 °C is governed by linear-to-cyclic dipeptide molecular modification followed by formation of extended β-sheet structure. As a result of this process, native open-end FF and LL nanotubes are transformed into ultrathin nanofibrils. Found deep reconstructions at all levels from macroscopic (morphology) and structural space symmetry to molecular give rise to new optical properties in both aromatic FF and aliphatic LL nanofibrils and generation of blue photoluminescence (PL) emission. It is shown that observed blue PL peak is similar in these supramolecular nanofibrillar structures and is excited by the network of non-covalent hydrogen bonds that link newly thermally induced neighboring cyclic dipeptide strands to final extended β-sheet structure of amyloid-like nanofibrils. The observed blue PL peak in short dipeptide nanofibrils is similar to the blue PL peak that was recently found in amyloid fibrils and can be considered as the optical signature of β-sheet structures. Nanotubular structures were characterized by environmental scanning electron microscope, ToF-secondary ion mass spectroscopy, CD and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Nature produces an array of self-assembled fibres from proteins and peptides with a wide range of functionalities. This has inspired scientists to design peptides that exploit specific protein folds to form simple yet multi-functional self-assembled fibres. Of the various protein folds the most commonly used has been the β-sheet fold as it is easily accessible and produces nanoscale fibres which have a wide range of stabilities. Research has also been driven by the relationship to the various amyloid diseases, which produce β-sheet rich fibres. Here we will discuss the use of natural protein sequences as the basis of peptides that self-assemble to β-sheet rich fibres followed by peptide sequences that have been designed de novo purely based on the rules for the formation of a β-sheet. How changes in the amino acid sequence of these various peptides affects the properties of the fibres and also the macroscopic materials formed by these peptides will be discussed in each case. We will then look into how these structures have been utilized for applications as scaffolds for cell culture and tissue regeneration, followed by their use in the nanotechnology field.

Abstract
The electrical conductivity via peptide networks was measured using conductive probe atomic force microscopy, where the tryptophan-containing peptide network (composed of Phe-Trp dipeptides) exhibited a superior (5 fold) conductivity in comparison to an all phenylalanine network (composed of Phe-Phe dipeptides). These results are in line with previous spectroscopic measurements exploring intramolecular electron transfer in proteins. Bias-scaling factors (instead of the more commonly used transition voltage spectroscopy method) were calculated for the two peptide networks. These calculations showed substantial differences between the two peptide networks, suggesting different electron transport characteristics. While the factor for the tryptophan-containing network is similar to conjugated molecules with a low electron-tunneling barrier, the one for the all phenylalanine network can be ascribed as an 'intermediate' factor between conjugated and saturated molecules.
