Abstract
The folding of proteins into intricate three-dimensional structures to achieve biological functions, such as catalysis, is governed by both kinetic and thermodynamic controls. The quest to design artificial enzymes using minimalist peptides seeks to emulate supramolecular structures existing in a catalytically active state. Drawing inspiration from the nuanced process of protein folding, our study explores the enzyme-like activity of amphiphilic peptide nanosystems in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium states, featuring the formation of supramolecular nanofibrils and nanosheets. In contrast to thermodynamically stable nanosheets, the kinetically trapped nanofibrils exhibit dynamic characteristics (e.g., rapid molecular exchange and relatively weak intermolecular packing), resulting in a higher hydrolase-mimicking activity. We emphasize that a supramolecular microenvironment characterized by an optimal local polarity, microviscosity, and β-sheet hydrogen bonding is conducive to both substrate binding and ester bond hydrolysis. Our work underscores the pivotal role of both thermodynamic and kinetic control in impacting biomimetic catalysis and sheds a light on the development of artificial enzymes.

Abstract
Chirality is a universal phenomenon in molecular and biological systems, denoting an asymmetric configurational property where an object cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image by any kind of translation or rotation, which is ubiquitous on the scale from neutrinos to spiral galaxies. Chirality plays a very important role in the life system. Many biological molecules in the life body show chirality, such as the "codebook" of the earth's biological diversity-DNA, nucleic acid, etc. Intriguingly, living organisms hierarchically consist of homochiral building blocks, for example, l-amino acids and d-sugars with unknown reason. When molecules with chirality interact with these chiral factors, only one conformation favors the positive development of life, that is, the chiral host environment can only selectively interact with chiral molecules of one of the conformations. The differences in chiral interactions are often manifested by chiral recognition, mutual matching, and interactions with chiral molecules, which means that the stereoselectivity of chiral molecules can produce changes in pharmacodynamics and pathology. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the construction and applications of chiral materials based on natural small molecules as chiral source, natural biomacromolecules as chiral sources, and the material synthesized by design as a chiral source.

Abstract
Nanoscale curvature-dependent interactions are of paramount importance in biological systems. Here, we report that nanoscale curvature plays an important role in regulating the chirality of self-assembled nanocomposites from chiral organic molecules and achiral nanoparticles. Specifically, we show that the supramolecular chirality of the nanocomposites markedly depends on the nanoparticle curvature, where small-sized nanoparticles of high curvature and large-sized nanoparticles of low curvature lead to nanocomposites with opposite chirality. Quantitative kinetic experiments and molecular dynamics simulations reveal that nanoparticle curvature plays a key role in promoting the pre-nucleation oligomerization of chiral molecules, which consequently regulates the supramolecular chirality of the nanocomposites. We anticipate that this study will aid in rational design of an artificial cooperative system giving rise to emergent assembling phenomena that can be surprisingly rich and often cannot be understood by studying the conventional noncooperative systems.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles offer a multifunctional platform for biomedical applications in drug delivery, biosensing, bioimaging, disease diagnosis, screening, and therapies. Homochirality prevalently exists in biological systems composed of asymmetric biochemical activities and processes, so biomedical applications essentially favor the usage of inorganic chiral nanomaterials, which have been widely studied in the past two decades. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the characterization of 3D stereochirality, the bionic fabrication of hierarchical chirality, extension of the compositional space to poly-elements, studying optical activities with the (sub-)single-particle resolution, and the experimental demonstration in biomedical applications. These advanced studies pave the way toward fully understanding the two important chiral effects (i.e., the chiroptical and enantioselective effects), and prospectively promote the flexible design and fabrication of inorganic chiral nanoparticles with engineerable functionalities to solve diverse practical problems closely associated with environment and public health.

Abstract
The use of peptide amphiphiles (PAs) is becoming increasingly popular, not only because of their unique self-assembly properties but also due to the versatility of designs, allowing biological responsiveness, biocompatibility, and easy synthesis, which could potentially contribute to new drug design and disease treatment concepts. Oligonucleotides, another major functional bio-macromolecule class, have been introduced recently as new functional building blocks into PAs, further enriching the tools available for the fabrication of bio-functional PAs. Taking advantage of this, in the present work, two nucleic base-linked (adenine, A and thymine, T) RGD-rich peptide amphiphiles (NPAs) containing the fluorophores naphthalimide and rhodamine (Nph-A and Rh-T) were designed and synthesized. The two NPAs exhibit distinctive assembly behaviours with spherical (Rh-T) and fibrous (Nph-A) morphologies, and mixing Nph-A with Rh-T leads to a densely crosslinked colloidal network (Nph-A/Rh-T) via mutually promoted supramolecular polymerization via nucleation-growth assembly. Because of the RGD-rich sequences in the crosslinked network, further research on in situ targeted cancer cell (MDA-MB-231) encapsulation via RGD-integrin recognition was performed, and the modulation of cell behaviours (e.g., cell viability and migration) was demonstrated using both confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging and a scratch wound healing assay.

Abstract
Determining the structural chirality of biomolecules is of vital importance in bioscience and biomedicine. Conventional methods for characterizing molecular chirality, e.g., circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, require high-concentration specimens due to the weak electronic CD signals of biomolecules such as amino acids. Artificially designed chiral plasmonic metastructures exhibit strong intrinsic chirality. However, the significant size mismatch between metastructures and biomolecules makes the former unsuitable for chirality-recognition-based molecular discrimination. Fortunately, constructing metallic architectures through molecular self-assembly allows chirality transfer from sub-nanometer biomolecules to sub-micrometer, intrinsically achiral plasmonic metastructures by means of either near-field interaction or chirality inheritance, resulting in hybrid systems with CD signals orders of magnitude larger than that of pristine biomolecules. This exotic property provides a new means to determine molecular chirality at extremely low concentrations (ideally at the single-molecule level). Herein, three strategies of chirality transfer from sub-nanometer biomolecules to sub-micrometer metallic metastructures are analyzed. The physiochemical mechanisms responsible for chirality transfer are elaborated and new fascinating opportunities for employing plasmonic metastructures in chirality-based biosensing and bioimaging are outlined.

Abstract
Bulk metals lack chirality. Recently, metals have been sculptured with metastable chirality varying from the micro- to nano-scale. The manipulation of molecular chirality could be novelly performed using metals composed of chiral lattices at atomic scales (i.e., chiral nanoparticles or CNPs) if one could fundamentally understand the interactions between molecules and the chiral metal lattices. The incorporation of chiral ligands has been generally adapted to form metal CNPs. However, post-fabrication removal of chiral ligands usually causes relaxation of the metastable chiral lattices to thermodynamically stable achiral structures, and thus the coexisting chiral ligands will unavoidably disturb or screen the interactions of interest. Herein, a concept of metal CNPs that are free of chiral ligands and consist of atomically chiral lattices is introduced. Without chiral ligands, shear forces applied by substrate rotation along with the translation of incident atoms lead to imposing the metastable chiral lattices onto metals. Metal CNPs show not only the chiroptical effect but the enantiospecific interactions of chiral lattices and molecules. These two unique chiral effects have resulted in the applications of enantiodifferentiation and asymmetric synthesis. Prospectively, the extension in composition space and constituent engineering will apply alloy CNPs to enantiodiscrimination, enantioseperation, bio-imaging, bio-sensing, and asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
The plasmonic properties of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) arrays are directly controlled by AgNP size, shape, and spatial arrangement. Reported here is a strategy to prepare chiral AgNP arrays templated by two constitutionally isomeric aromatic peptide amphiphiles (APAs), KSC'EKS and C'EKSKS (KS = S-aroylthiooxime-modified lysine, C' = citrulline, and E = glutamic acid). In phosphate buffer, both APAs initially self-assembled into nanoribbons with a similar geometry. However, in the presence of silver ions and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSSS), one of the nanoribbons (KSC'EKS) turned into nanohelices with a regular twisting pitch, while the other (C'EKSKS) remained as nanoribbons. Both were used as templates for synthesis of arrays of ∼8 nm AgNPs to understand how small changes in molecular structure affect the plasmonic properties of these chiral AgNP/APA hybrids. Both hybrids showed improved colloidal stability compared to pure AgNPs, and both showed enhanced sensitivity as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for model analytes, with nanohelices showing better SERS performance compared to their nanoribbon counterparts and pure AgNPs.

Abstract
The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to extrapolate back from extant biology to the prebiotic world, one must acknowledge the critical importance that interconnected molecular networks, likely with peptides as key components, would have played in life's origin. In this review, we summarize chemical processes involving peptides that could have contributed to early chemical evolution, with an emphasis on molecular interactions between peptides and other classes of organic molecules. We first summarize mechanisms by which amino acids and similar building blocks could have been produced and elaborated into proto-peptides. Next, non-covalent interactions of peptides with other peptides as well as with nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, metal ions, and aromatic molecules are discussed in relation to the possible roles of such interactions in chemical evolution of structure and function. Finally, we describe research involving structural alternatives to peptides and covalent adducts between amino acids/peptides and other classes of molecules. We propose that ample future breakthroughs in origin-of-life chemistry will stem from investigations of interconnected chemical systems in which synergistic interactions between different classes of molecules emerge.

Abstract
Studies carried out in recent decades have revealed that the ability to self-assemble is a widespread property among biomolecules. Small nucleic acid moieties or very short peptides are able to generate intricate assemblies endowed with remarkable structural and spectroscopic properties. Herein, the structural/spectroscopic characterization of aggregates formed by nucleobases and peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-peptide conjugates are reported. At high concentration, all studied nucleobases form aggregates characterized by previously unreported fluorescence properties. The conjugation of these bases, as PNA derivatives, to the dipeptide Phe-Phe leads to the formation of novel hybrid assemblies, which are characterized by an amyloid-like association of the monomers. Although these compounds share the same basic cross-β motif, the nature and number of PNA units have an important impact on both the level of structural order and the intrinsic fluorescence of the self-assembled nanostructure.

Abstract
The synthesis and self-assembled nanostructures of a series of nucleopeptides (NPs) derived from the dipeptide Phe-Phe and the peptide nucleic acid unit which are covalently attached through an amide or a triazole linker are described. Depending on the variables such as protecting groups, linkers, and nucleobases, spherical nanoparticles were observed through scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, and the porous nature of representative NPs was corroborated by carboxyfluorescein entrapment. Hydrophobic substituents on different sites of NPs and solvents employed for peptide self-assembly played a crucial role for corresponding morphologies. The stability of nanoparticles was also probed under external stimuli such as pH, temperature, and enzymatic hydrolysis using proteolytic enzymes. The semiconducting nature of the NP-modified carbon electrodes suggested their potential use as a new capacitor material.

Abstract
Traditionally, post-polymerization processing routes have been used to obtain a wide range of block copolymer morphologies. However, this self-assembly approach is normally performed at rather low copolymer concentration, which precludes many potential applications. Herein, we report a facile method for the preparation of block copolymer particles exhibiting complex internal morphology via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). More specifically, a series of diblock copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) alternating copolymerization of styrene (St) with N-phenylmaleimide (NMI) using a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAC) stabilizer as a soluble precursor. Conducting such PISA syntheses in a 50 : 50 w/w ethanol/methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) mixture leads directly to the formation of micrometer-sized PDMAC-P(St-alt-NMI) diblock copolymer particles at 20% w/w solids. Adjusting the degree of polymerization (DP) of the core-forming P(St-alt-NMI) block to target highly asymmetric copolymer compositions provides convenient access to an inverse bicontinuous phase. TEM studies of intermediate structures provide useful insights regarding the mechanism of formation of this phase. SEM studies indicate that the final copolymer particles comprise perforated surface layers and possess nanostructured interiors. In addition, control experiments using 1,4-dioxane suggest that the high chain mobility conferred by the MEK co-solvent is essential for the formation of such inverse bicontinuous structures. One-pot PISA formulations are reproducible and involve only cheap, commercially available starting materials, so they should be readily amenable to scale-up. This augurs well for the potential use of such nanostructured micrometer-sized particles as new organic opacifiers for paints and coatings.

Abstract
Understanding the self-organization and structural transformations of molecular ensembles is important to explore the complexity of biological systems. Here, we illustrate the crucial role of cosolvents and solvation effects in thermodynamic and kinetic control over peptide association into ultrathin Janus nanosheets, elongated nanobelts, and amyloid-like fibrils. We gained further insight into the solvation-directed self-assembly (SDSA) by investigating residue-specific peptide solvation using molecular dynamics modeling. We proposed the preferential solvation of the aromatic and alkyl domains on the peptide backbone and protofibril surface, which results in volume exclusion effects and restricts the peptide association between hydrophobic walls. We explored the SDSA phenomenon in a library of cosolvents (protic and aprotic), where less polar cosolvents were found to exert a stronger influence on the energetic balance at play during peptide propagation. By tailoring cosolvent polarity, we were able to achieve precise control of the peptide nanostructures with 1D/2D shape selection. We also illustrated the complexity of the SDSA system with pathway-dependent peptide aggregation, where two self-assembly states ( i.e., thermodynamic equilibrium state and kinetically trapped state) from different sample preparation methods were obtained.

Abstract
Heterodimers of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and gold yolk-shell nanoparticles are fabricated for the quantification of polymyxin-B-resistant Escherichia coli. They produce two signals, circular dichroism (CD) and upconversion luminescence (UCL). Interestingly, due to the different affinity of polymyxin B for sensitive and resistant strain, as the concentration of polymyxin B increases, the amount of UCNPs in sensitive bacteria increases sharply, increasing the intracellular UCL signal at a low polymyxin B concentration immobilized on the UCNP. The CD intensity is correspondingly reduced as the amount of UCNPs in solution decreased. Meanwhile, for polymyxin-B-resistant strain, the intracellular UCL increases slowly even in a high polymyxin B concentration, and the CD intensity in solution is also enhanced because of the inefficient entering of UCNP. Therefore, based on the concentration of polymyxin B coupled to the UCNPs, the levels of polymyxin-B-resistant bacteria can be detected with dual signals. Importantly, with 980 nm irradiation, both polymyxin-B-sensitive strains and polymyxin-resistant bacteria used to induce infection in mice are detected with UCL imaging in vivo and treated well with photodynamic therapy. This novel dual-mode heterodimer has potential utility for the advanced surveillance and control of drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
![]()
The ability to dynamically tune the
self-assembled structures of
nanoparticles is of significant interest in the fields of chemistry
and material studies. However, it continues to be challenging to dynamically
tune the chiral superstructures of nanoparticles and actively switch
the chiral optical properties thereof. Here, we dynamically controlled
a gold nanorod 3D chiral plasmonic superstructure (a stair helix with
a pinwheel end view) templated by a DNA origami supramolecular polymer,
using DNA-toehold-mediated conformational change in the DNA template.
The gold nanorod chiral plasmonic helix was controllably reconfigured
between a tightly folded state (with a small inter-rod angle) and
an extended state (with a wide inter-rod angle) of the same handedness,
or between two mirror-image-like structures of opposite handedness.
As a result, the chiral plasmonic properties of the gold nanorod helix
superstructures, in terms of the circular dichroism amplitude, peak
response frequency, and signature of chirality, were actively switched
upon the DNA-guided structural reconfiguration. We envision that the
strategy demonstrated here will boost the advancement of reconfigurable
chiral materials with increased complexity for active light control
applications through rational molecular design and predictable self-assembly
procedures.

Abstract
An important challenge in molecular assembly and hierarchical molecular engineering is to control and program the directional self-assembly into chiral structures. Here, we present a versatile DNA surface adapter that can programmably self-assemble into various chiral supramolecular architectures, thereby regulating the chiral directional "bonding" of gold nanorods decorated by the surface adapter. Distinct optical chirality relevant to the ensemble conformation is demonstrated from the assembled novel stair-like and coil-like gold nanorod chiral metastructures, which is strongly affected by the spatial arrangement of neighboring nanorod pair. Our strategy provides new avenues for fabrication of tunable optical metamaterials by manipulating the directional self-assembly of nanoparticles using programmable surface adapters.

Abstract
Material properties depend critically on the packing and order of constituent units throughout length scales. Beyond classically explored molecular self-assembly, structure formation in the nanoparticle and colloidal length scales have recently been actively explored for new functions. Structure of colloidal assemblies depends strongly on the assembly process, and higher structural control can be reliably achieved only if the process is deterministic. Here we show that self-assembly of cationic spherical metal nanoparticles and anionic rod-like viruses yields well-defined binary superlattice wires. The superlattice structures are explained by a cooperative assembly pathway that proceeds in a zipper-like manner after nucleation. Curiously, the formed superstructure shows right-handed helical twisting due to the right-handed structure of the virus. This leads to structure-dependent chiral plasmonic function of the material. The work highlights the importance of well-defined colloidal units when pursuing unforeseen and complex assemblies.Colloidal self-assembly is a unique method to produce three-dimensional materials with well-defined hierarchical structures and functionalities. Liljeström et al. show controlled preparation of macroscopic chiral wires with helical plasmonic superlattice structure composed of metal nanoparticles and viruses.
