Abstract
Water-soluble poly(L-serine)s bearing long side-chain with terminal charge groups were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of O-pentenyl-L-serine N-carboxyanhydride followed by thiol-ene reactions. These side-chain modified poly(L-serine)s adopt β-sheet conformation in aqueous solution with excellent stability against changes in pH and temperature. These water-soluble poly(L-serine) derivatives with charged side-chain functional groups and stable β-sheet conformations showed membrane-penetrating capabilities in different cell lines with low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
A new type of hetero-grafted molecular bottlebrush with polypeptide as backbone was synthesized using graft-onto strategy. Poly(γ-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG) as backbone was firstly synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of γ-propargyl-L-glutamate (PLG) N-carboxyanhydride (NCA). Next, polystyrene-N3 (PS-N3) and monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-N3 (mPEG-N3) as side chains were grafted onto the PPLG backbone using copper-catalyzed click reaction, which afforded good grafting density and efficiency. Two polypeptide bottlebrushes with PS-to-mPEG molar ratio at 70/30 and 30/70 were prepared. The self-assembly behaviors of these two polypeptide bottlebrushes were investigated using the cosolvent method, and their supramolecular structures were characterized using light scattering (LS) and electron microscopy.

Abstract
One of the major obstacles that delay the clinical translation of polymeric micelle drug delivery systems is whether these self-assembled micelles can retain their integrity in blood following intravenous (IV) injection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of core functionalization on the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of polymeric micelles. The combination of ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) with highly efficient "click" coupling has enabled easy and quick access to a family of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(γ-R-glutamate)s with exactly the same block lengths, for which the substituent "R" is tuned. The structures of these copolymers were carefully characterized by (1)H NMR, FT-IR, and GPC. When pyrene is used as the fluorescence probe, the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of these polymers were found to be in the range of 10(-7)-10(-6) M, which indicates good thermodynamic stability for the self-assembled micelles. The incorporation of polar side groups in the micelle core leads to high CMC values; however, micelles prepared from these copolymers are kinetically more stable in the presence of serum and upon SDS disturbance. It was also observed that these polymers could effectively encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) as a model anticancer drug, and the micelles possessing better kinetic stability showed better suppression of the initial "burst" release and exhibited more sustained release of PTX. These PTX-loaded micelles exerted comparable cytotoxicity against HeLa cells as the clinically approved Cremophor PTX formulation, while the block copolymers showed much lower toxicity compared to the cremophor-ethanol mixture. The present work demonstrated that the PEG-b-PPLG can be a uniform block copolymer platform toward development of polymeric micelle delivery systems for different drugs through the facile modification of the PPLG block.

Abstract
Stimuli-sensitive synthetic polypeptides are unique biodegradable and biocompatible synthetic polymers with structures mimicking natural proteins. These polymers exhibit reversible secondary conformation transitions and/or hydrophilic-hydrophobic transitions in response to changes in environmental conditions such as pH and temperature. The stimuli-triggered conformation and/or phase transitions lead to unique self-assembly behaviors, making these materials interesting for controlled drug and gene delivery applications. Therefore, stimuli-sensitive synthetic polypeptide-based materials have been extensively investigatid in recent years. Various polypeptide-based materials, including micelles, vesicles, nanogels, and hydrogels, have been developed and tested for drug- and gene-delivery applications. In addition, the presence of reactive side groups in some polypeptides facilitates the incorporation of various functional moieties to the polypeptides. This Review focuses on recent advances in stimuli-sensitive polypeptide-based materials that have been designed and evaluated for drug and gene delivery applications. In addition, recent developments in the preparation of stimuli-sensitive functionalized polypeptides are discussed.

Abstract
The ideal wound-healing scaffold should provide the appropriate physical and mechanical properties to prevent secondary infection, as well as an excellent physiological environment to facilitate cell adhesion, proliferation and/or differentiation. Therefore, we developed a synthetic cell-adhesive polypeptide hydrogel with inherent antibacterial activity. A series of polypeptides, poly(Lys)(x)(Ala)(y) (x+y=100), with varied hydrophobicity via metal-free ring-opening polymerization of NCA-Lys(Boc) and NCA-Ala monomers (NCA=N-carboxylic anhydride) mediated by hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) were synthesized. These polypeptides were cross-linked with 6-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG)-amide succinimidyl glutarate (ASG) (M(w)=10K) to form hydrogels with a gelation time of five minutes and a storage modulus (G') of 1400-3000 Pa as characterized by rheometry. The hydrogel formed by cross-linking of poly(Lys)(60)(Ala)(40) (5 wt.%) and 6-arm PEG-ASG (16 wt.%) (Gel-III) exhibited cell adhesion and cell proliferation activities superior to other polypeptide hydrogels. In addition, Gel-III displays significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli JM109 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. Thus, we have developed a novel, cell-adhesive hydrogel with inherent antibacterial activity as a potential scaffold for cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
Water-soluble polypeptides adopting α-helical conformations with unprecedented high helicities were obtained by elongating the charge-containing side chains of the constituent amino acids to allow the terminal charges to be situated distally from the peptide backbone. Poly(γ-(4-aminoethylthiopropoxyl)-benzyl-(L)-glutamate) (PAOBLG-AET) with a charge-peptide backbone distance of 17 σ-bonds exhibited a remarkably high helical content (81%) at a degree of polymerization as low as 10. The helical conformations of these short polypeptides were very stable against various harsh, protein-denaturing conditions, such as extreme pH, high temperature, and high salt or urea concentrations.

Abstract
Introducing various pendant functional groups and building blocks of interest to polypeptides in a highly efficient, controlled manner is crucial to access polypeptide materials with desired structures and functions. In this study, we synthesized γ-(4-vinylbenzyl)-(L)-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (VB-Glu-NCA), which was readily obtained and purified in large quantity. VB-Glu-NCA monomer was subsequently used for the synthesis of polypeptides containing conjugation-amenable, pendant vinyl functional groups. Controlled, living polymerizations of VB-Glu-NCA were achieved by using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as the initiator, catalytic amounts of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) as the co-catalyst, and nitrobenzene as the inhibitor of radical-induced side reactions on the vinyl group of VB-Glu-NCA. The resulting poly(γ-(4-vinylbenzyl)-(L)-glutamate) (PVBLG) gave rise to polypeptides containing pendant functional groups or moieties through various vinyl chemistries.

Abstract
Dinuclear alkynylcopper(I) ladderane complexes are prepared by a robust and simple protocol involving the reduction of Cu(2)(OH)(3)OAc or Cu(OAc)(2) by easily oxidised alcohols in the presence of terminal alkynes; they function as efficient catalysts in copper-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reactions as predicted by the Ahlquist-Fokin calculations. The same copper(I) catalysts are formed during reactions by using the Sharpless-Fokin protocol. The experimental results also provide evidence that sodium ascorbate functions as a base to deprotonate terminal alkynes and additionally give a convincing alternative explanation for the fact that the Cu(I)-catalysed reactions of certain 1,3-diazides with phenylacetylene give bis(triazoles) as the major products. The same dinuclear alkynylcopper(I) complexes also function as catalysts in cycloaddition reactions of azides with 1-iodoalkynes.

Abstract
Multifunctionalized macromers react via a copper-free click chemistry to form an idealized 3D hydrogel. Subsequently, thiol-containing biomolecules are spatially patterned within the material with precise control over the amount and location of functionalization. Both the network formation and subsequent patterning reactions are fully cytocompatible, allowing these systems to be used to study individual cell behavior at user-defined locations throughout the material.

Abstract
Polypeptide polymer-grafted silica nanoparticles are of considerable interest because the ordered secondary structure of the polypeptide grafts imparts novel functional properties onto the nanoparticle composite. The synthesis of poly-L-lysine-grafted silica nanoparticles would be of particular interest because the high density of cationic charges on the surface could lead to many applications such as gene delivery and antimicrobial agents. In this work, we have developed a "grafting-to" approach using a combination of NCA polymerization and "click chemistry" to synthesize poly-L-lysine-grafted silica nanoparticles with a high graft density of 1 chain/nm(2). The covalent attachment of poly-L-lysine to silica nanoparticles (PLL-silica) was confirmed using a variety of techniques such as (13)C CP MAS NMR, TGA, and IR. This methodology was then extended to graft poly-L-lysine-b-poly-L-leucine copolymer (PLL-b-PLLeu-silica) and poly-L-benzylglutamate (PLBG-silica) onto silica nanoparticles. All of these polypeptide-grafted nanoparticles show interesting aggregation properties in solution. The efficacy of PLL-silica and PLL-b-PLLeu-silica as antimicrobial agents was tested on both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive Bacillus subtilis.
