Abstract
The electroactivity as a supramolecular feature of intelligently designed self-assembled systems stimulates a wide interest in development of new stimuli-responsive biomaterials. A diverse set of nanostructures are fabricated through programmed self-assembly of molecules for functional materials. Electroactive groups are conjugated as a functional moiety for organic semiconductor applications. In this review, we present recent examples of self-assembling peptide molecules and electroactive units for supramolecular functional electronic and optical materials with potential biomedical and bioelectronics applications.

Abstract
Possessing unique physical and chemical properties, C60 fullerenes are arising as a potential nanotechnological tool that can strongly affect various biological processes. Recent molecular modeling studies have shown that C60 fullerenes can interact with ion channels, but there is lack of data about possible effects of C60 molecule on ion channels expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMC). Here we show both computationally and experimentally that water-soluble pristine C60 fullerene strongly inhibits the large conductance Ca2+-dependent K+ (BKCa), but not voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels in pulmonary artery SMC. Both molecular docking simulations and analysis of single channel activity indicate that C60 fullerene blocks BKCa channel pore in its open state. In functional tests, C60 fullerene enhanced phenylephrine-induced contraction of pulmonary artery rings by about 25% and reduced endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-induced relaxation by up to 40%. These findings suggest a novel strategy for biomedical application of water-soluble pristine C60 fullerene in vascular dysfunction.

Abstract
The total syntheses of hypomurocin A3 and hypomuricin A5 (HM A3 and HM A5, resp.) in solution phase are described. These syntheses have been successfully achieved by applying the 'azirine/oxazolone method' to introduce the two Aib-Pro units into the backbone of these undecapeptaibols in one step with methyl 2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine-3-prolinate as the 'Aib-Pro synthon'. The coupling of Z-protected (Z=(benzyloxy)carbonyl) amino acids or peptide acids with amino acid tert-butyl esters and of peptide segments was carried out according to the TBTU (=O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate) and HOBt (=1-hydroxybenzotriazole) protocol. Purification by reversed-phase HPLC gave the peptides in pure form. The products were characterized by optical rotation, NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of HM A3 and of an octapeptide fragment of HM A5 could be obtained. An NMR analysis was also carried out with HM A3 and HM A5 to determine their conformations in solution. A global structural comparison between the three sequences of HM A1, HM A3, and HM A5 was performed, as well as the HPLC correlation of the natural HM A family and the synthetic samples.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance to classical antibiotics is a serious medical problem, which continues to grow. Small antimicrobial peptides represent a potential solution and are increasingly being developed as novel therapeutic agents. Many of these peptides owe their antibacterial activity to the formation of trans-membrane ion-channels resulting in cell lysis. However, to further develop the field of peptide antibiotics, a thorough understanding of their mechanism of action is needed. Alamethicin belongs to a class of peptides called peptaibols and represents one of these antimicrobial peptides. To examine the dynamics of assembly and to facilitate a thorough structural evaluation of the alamethicin ion-channels, we have applied click chemistry for the synthesis of templated alamethicin multimers covalently attached to cyclodextrin-scaffolds. Using oriented circular dichroism, calcein release assays, and single-channel current measurements, the α-helices of the templated multimers were demonstrated to insert into lipid bilayers forming highly efficient and remarkably stable ion-channels.

Abstract
We report the syntheses of C(60)-based active esters and the coupling of their C(60) moiety to various amines or alcohols. Methano[60]fullerene carboxylic acid was activated by esterification with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or pentafluorophenol (PFP) and the active esters were isolated. Reactions of the active esters with amines or alcohols proceeded easily to give a variety of compounds having the C(60) moiety.

Abstract
In this short review article, the effects of covalent tethering of alamethicin molecules on channel-forming behavior are described. Broadly speaking, these chemical modifications have provided insight into all three aspects of channel behavior: the structure of the conducting state, the ion-selectivity and ion-permeation properties, and the voltage dependence. Each of these aspects are discussed in turn.

Abstract
The fungal genus Trichoderma has various applications in industry and in medicine, and several species have economic importance as sources of enzymes, antibiotics, plant growth promoters, decomposers of xenobiotics, and as commercial biofungicides. Peptaibiotics and peptaibols are a class of linear peptides synthesized by such fungi, and more than 300 have been described to date. Of this class, those compounds exhibiting antimicrobial activity are referred to as antibiotic peptides. In this review, the biosynthesis, fermentation, structure elucidation (by MS and NMR techniques in particular) and biological activity of antibiotic peptides from Trichoderma species are described.

Abstract
"Proteomics" and "peptidomics" are used as technical terms to define the analysis and study of all proteins and peptides expressed in an organism or tissue. In analogy we propose the name peptaibiomics for the analysis of a group of fungal peptide antibiotics (peptaibiotics) containing the characteristic amino acid Aib (alpha-aminoisobutyric acid). In analogy to the peptidome the complete expression of peptaibiotics by fungal multienzyme complexes should be named the peptaibiome. Peptaibiotics are defined as peptides containing Aib and exerting a variety of bioactivities. They comprise the sub-groups of N-acetylated peptaibols, characterized also by a C-terminal amide-linked 2-amino alcohol, and lipopeptaibols having in place of an acetyl group a lipophilic fatty acid acyl group. Furthermore, lipoaminopeptides are also known with long-chain fatty acid on the N-termini, a lipoamino acid in position three and a strongly basic secondary or tertiary amine form a subgroup of mixed forms which could not be integrated in one of these three previously mentioned groups. Here we present a specific and rapid screening method on the peptaibiome applicable directly onto filamentous fungi cultured in a single Petri dish. The method comprises solid-phase extraction (SPE) of peptaibiotics followed by on-line reversed-phase HPLC coupled to an ion trap electrospray tandem mass spectrometer (ES-MS). The presence of these peptides is indicated by characteristic mass differences of Deltam = 85.1 Da representing Aib-residues which can be observed in the b-series of acylium fragment ions resulting from ES-MS. Partial sequences can be deduced from the data and compared with structures compiled in electronic peptaibol data bases. The judgement is possible whether or not structures are novel, already known or related to known structures. Suitability of the method is demonstrated with the analysis of strains of Trichoderma and its teleomorph Hypocrea. New sequences of peptaibiotics are presented and those being related to established 10- to 18-residue peptaibols trichovirin, trichogin and trichotoxin, which have been described in the literature.

Abstract
The microheterogeneous alamethicin F30 (ALM F30) isolated from the fermentation of Trichoderma viride strain NRRL 3199 was analyzed by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray ion-trap mass spectrometry (ESI-IT-MS) and electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS). Tandem ESI-IT-MS was used for elucidation of the amino acid sequence based on the fragmentation pattern of selected parent ions. The MS/MS spectra using the [M + 3H](3+) or [M + 2H](2+) ions as precursor ions displayed the respective b- and the y-type fragments resulting from cleavage of the particularly labile Aib-Pro bond. The MS(3) of these fragments generated the b acylium ion series, as well as internal fragment ion series. Eleven amino acid sequences were identified, characterized by the exchange of Ala to Aib in position 6, Gln to Glu in positions 7 or 19 as well as the loss of the C-terminal amino alcohol. In addition, two truncated pyroglutamyl peptaibols were found. Overall, seven new sequences are reported compared to earlier LC-MS studies. The composition of the components was confirmed by on-line ESI-TOF-MS detection. Mass accuracy well below 5 ppm was observed. Quantification of the individual components was achieved by a combination of UV and TOF-MS detection.

Abstract
A total synthesis in solution of the 19-mer peptide component F50/5 of alamethicin, the most extensively investigated among the channel-former peptaibol antibiotics, is reported. Three peptide segments (A, B, C) were prepared and assembled, followed by incorporation of the acetylated N-terminal amino acid. The synthetic modules B and C are characterized by three Glu(OMe) residues (at positions 7, 18, and 19) that, after completion of the synthesis, were reacted with ammonia to provide alamethicin F50/5. By use of this general strategy, we also prepared the [Gln7, Glu(OMe)18,19] alamethicin F50/5 analogue. The purity and conformation of the final products were assessed by chromatographic, spectrometric, and spectroscopic techniques. This tunable segment condensation approach will pave the way for an easy synthesis of alamethicin analogues bearing amino acid residues with desired side-chain probes even at the N-terminus and in internal positions of the sequence.
