Abstract
Hemoproteins are metalloproteins which include iron porphyrin as a cofactor. These proteins have received much attention as promising building blocks for development of new types of biomaterials. This review summarizes recent efforts in the rational design of supramolecular hemoprotein assemblies using myoglobin, horseradish peroxidase, cytochrome b562 and cytochrome c as a monomer unit. The processes of coordination bond-mediated assembly or domain swapping-mediated assembly provide defined oligomers, while hemoprotein reconstitution with synthetic heme derivatives provides submicrometer-sized structures such as fibrils, vesicles/micelles, or networks. Interestingly, several of these assembled structures maintain the intrinsic functions of monomer units. The chemical and/or biological strategies described in this review will lead to the creation of unique hemoprotein-based functional biomaterials.

Abstract
As a possible modification of cofactor-containing proteins, cofactor-substitution typically leads to drastic changes of protein function. In particular heme, a porphyrin iron complex, is a representative, replaceable cofactor for this methodology and numerous cofactor-modified hemoproteins (reconstituted hemoproteins) have been prepared with the goal of elucidating their operational mechanism and/or engineering the protein function. In a series of hemoproteins, myoglobin, an oxygen storage hemoprotein, is one of the most rewarding scaffolds to generate a modified protein with an artificial cofactor. In this chapter, we describe practical procedures for the preparation of apomyoglobin and incorporation of zinc porphyrin as an artificial cofactor. Furthermore, we discuss the methodology to characterize the obtained cofactor-substituted proteins and the design of several artificial cofactors.

Abstract
Discotic molecules, which self-assemble in water into columnar supramolecular polymers, emerged as an alternative platform for the organization of proteins. Here, a monovalent discotic decorated with one single biotin was synthesized to study the self-assembling multivalency of this system in regard to streptavidin. Next to tetravalent streptavidin, monovalent streptavidin was used to study the protein assembly along the supramolecular polymer in detail without the interference of cross-linking. Upon self-assembly of the monovalent biotinylated discotics, multivalent proteins can be assembled along the supramolecular polymer. The concentration of discotics, which influences the length of the final polymers at the same time dictates the amount of assembled proteins.

Abstract
Heme proteins are among the most abundant and important metalloproteins, exerting diverse biological functions including oxygen transport, small molecule sensing, selective C-H bond activation, nitrite reduction, and electron transfer. Rational heme protein designs focus on the modification of the heme-binding active site and the heme group, protein hybridization and domain swapping, and de novo design. These strategies not only provide us with unique advantages for illustrating the structure-property-reactivity-function (SPRF) relationship of heme proteins in nature but also endow us with the ability to create novel biocatalysts and biosensors.

Abstract
The physical and chemical mechanisms of small molecules with pharmacological activity forming nano-structures are developing into a new field of nano-medicine. By using ROESY 2D NMR spectroscopy, trandem mass spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and computer-assisted molecular modeling, this paper demonstrated the contribution of the folded conformation, the intra- and intermolecular π-π stacking, the intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and the receptor binding free energy of 6-dimethylaminonaph-2-yl-{N-S-[1-benzylcarba-moyl-4-(2-chloroacetamidobutyl)]-carboxamide (YW3-56) to the rapid formation of nano-rings and the slow formation of nano-capsules. Thus we have developed a strategy that makes it possible to elucidate the physical and chemical mechanisms of bioactive small molecules forming nano-structures.
