Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) starts decades before cognitive symptoms develop. Easily accessible and cost-effective biomarkers that accurately reflect AD pathology are essential for both monitoring and therapeutics of AD. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid are increased in AD more than a decade before the expected onset, thus providing one of the most promising blood biomarkers for monitoring of AD. The clinical practice of employing single-molecule array (Simoa) technology for routine use in patient care is limited by the high costs. Herein, we developed a microarray chip-based high-throughput screening method and screened an attractive self-assembling peptide targeting NfL. Through directly "imprinting" and further analyzing the sequences, morphology, and affinity of the identified self-assembling peptides, the Pep-NfL peptide nanosheet with high binding affinity toward NfL (KD = 1.39 × 10-9 mol/L), high specificity, and low cost was characterized. The superior binding ability of Pep-NfL was confirmed in AD mouse models and cell lines. In the clinical setting, the Pep-NfL peptide nanosheets hold great potential for discriminating between patients with AD (P < 0.001, n = 37), mild cognitive impairment (P < 0.05, n = 26), and control groups (n = 30). This work provides a high-throughput, high-sensitivity, and economical system for noninvasive tracking of AD to monitor neurodegeneration at different stages of disease. The obtained Pep-NfL peptide nanosheet may be useful for assessing dynamic changes in plasma NfL concentrations to evaluate disease-modifying therapies as a surrogate end point of neurodegeneration in clinical trials.

Abstract
Peptide self-assemblies could leverage their specificity, stability, biocompatibility, and electrochemical activity to create functionalized interfaces for molecular sensing and detection. However, the dynamics within these interfaces are complex, with competing forces, including those maintaining peptide structures, recognizing analytes, and facilitating signal transmission. Such competition could lead to nonspecific interference, compromising the detection sensitivity and accuracy. In this study, a series of peptides with precise structures and controllable electron transfer capabilities were designed. Through examining their stacking patterns, the interplay between the peptides' hierarchical structures, their ability to recognize targets, and their conductivity were clarified. Among these, the EP5 peptide assembly was identified for its ability to form controllable electronic tunnels facilitated by π-stacking induced β-sheets. EP5 could enhance the long-range conductivity, minimize nonspecific interference, and exhibit targeted recognition capabilities. Based on EP5, an electrochemical sensing interface toward the disease marker PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) was developed, suitable for both whole blood assay and in vivo companion diagnosis. It opens a new avenue for crafting electrochemical detection interfaces with specificity, sensitivity, and compatibility.

Abstract
Probing biomolecular interactions at cellular interfaces is crucial for understanding and interfering with life processes. Although affinity binders with site specificity for membrane proteins are unparalleled molecular tools, a high demand remains for novel multi-functional ligands. In this study, a synthetic peptide (APQQ) with tight and specific binding to the untargeted extracellular loop of CD81 evolved from a genetically encoded peptide pool. With tailored affinity, APQQ flexibly accesses, site-specifically binds, and forms a complex with CD81, enabling in-situ tracking of the dynamics and activity of this protein in living cells, which has rarely been explored because of the lack of ligands. Furthermore, APQQ triggers the relocalization of CD81 from diffuse to densely clustered at cell junctions and modulates the interplay of membrane proteins at cellular interfaces. Motivated by these, efficient suppression of cancer cell migration, and inhibition of breast cancer metastasis were achieved in vivo.

Abstract
Misfolding and aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides are key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). With accumulating evidence suggesting that different Aβ species have varied neurotoxicity and implications in AD development, the discovery of affinity ligands and analytical approaches to selective distinguish, detect, and monitor Aβ becomes an active research area. Remarkable advances have been achieved, which not only promote our understanding of the biophysical chemistry of the protein aggregation during neurodegeneration, but also provide promising tools for early detection of the disease. In view of this, we summarize the recent progress in selective and sensitive approaches for tracking and detection of Aβ species. Specific attentions are given to soluble Aβ oligomers, due to their crucial roles in AD development and occurrence at early stages. The design principle, performance of targeting units, and their cooperative effects with signal reporters for Aβ analysis are discussed. The applications of the novel targeting probes and sensing systems for dynamic monitoring oligomerization, measuring Aβ in biosamples and in vivo imaging in brain are summarized. Finally, the perspective and challenges are discussed regarding the future development of Aβ-targeting analytical tools to explore the unknown field to contribute to the early diagnosis and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Chiral induction by natural biomolecules can reveal the indispensable role of chiral structures in life and can be used to develop the chirality-sensing biomolecular recognition. Here, we present the synthesis and characterization of an achiral supramolecular organic framework (SOF-1) constructed from cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) derivative (1) in water. Due to the propeller-like rotational chiral conformation of HPB units and the specific recognition properties of CB[8], SOF-1 demonstrates chiral adaptive induction in water when interacting with the N-terminal Trp-/Phe-containing dipeptides including L-TrpX and L-PheX (X is an amino acid residue), respectively, exhibiting contrasting circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra. Consequently, SOF-1 has been developed as a supramolecular host and chiroptical sensor capable of recognizing and distinguishing the sequence-opposite Trp-/Phe-containing dipeptide pairs including L-TrpX/L-XTrp and L-PheX/L-XPhe based on the sequence-selective CD responses.

Abstract
Peptide-derived metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) have emerged as a class of biomimetic materials with attractive performances in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry. The incorporation of biomolecule peptides gives the frameworks conformational flexibility, guest adaptability, built-in chirality, and molecular recognition ability, which greatly accelerate the applications of PMOFs in enantiomeric separation, affinity separation, and the enrichment of bioactive species from complicated samples. This review focuses on the recent advances in the engineering and applications of PMOFs in selective separation. The unique biomimetic size-, enantio-, and affinity-selective performances for separation are discussed along with the chemical structures and functions of MOFs and peptides. Updates of the applications of PMOFs in adaptive separation of small molecules, chiral separation of drug molecules, and affinity isolation of bioactive species are summarized. Finally, the promising future and remaining challenges of PMOFs for selective separation of complex biosamples are discussed.
