Abstract
The energetic and geometric features enabling redox chemistry across the copper cupredoxin fold contain key components of electron transfer chains (ETC), which have been extended here by templating the cross-β bilayer assembly of a synthetic nonapeptide, HHQALVFFA-NH2 (K16A), with copper ions. Similar to ETC cupredoxin plastocyanin, these assemblies contain copper sites with blue-shifted (λmax 573 nm) electronic transitions and strongly oxidizing reduction potentials. Electron spin echo envelope modulation and X-ray absorption spectroscopies define square planar Cu(II) sites containing a single His ligand. Restrained molecular dynamics of the cross-β peptide bilayer architecture support metal ion coordination stabilizing the leaflet interface and indicate that the relatively high reduction potential is not simply the result of distorted coordination geometry (entasis). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) supports a charge-hopping mechanism across multiple copper centers placed 10-12 Å apart within the assembled peptide leaflet interface. This metal-templated scaffold accordingly captures the electron shuttle and cupredoxin functionality in a peptide membrane-localized electron transport chain.

Abstract
Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array of functions. Building on the design principles for short peptide-based nanomaterials with properties, such as self-assembly, recognition, catalysis, and actuation, are increasingly available. Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry is starting to address the far greater challenge of systems-level design to access complex functions that emerge when multiple reactions and interactions are coordinated and integrated. We discuss key features relevant to systems-level design, including regulating supramolecular order and disorder, development of active and adaptive systems by considering kinetic and thermodynamic design aspects and combinatorial dynamic covalent and noncovalent interactions. Finally, we discuss how structural and dynamic design concepts, including preorganization and induced fit, are critical to the ability to develop adaptive materials with adaptive and tunable photonic, electronic, and catalytic properties. Finally, we highlight examples where multiple features are combined, resulting in chemical systems and materials that display adaptive properties that cannot be achieved without this level of integration.

Control over the fibrillization yield by varying the oligomeric nucleation propensities of self-assembling peptides. Commun Chem 2020; 3:164.

Abstract
Self-assembling peptides are an exemplary class of supramolecular biomaterials of broad biomedical utility. Mechanistic studies on the peptide self-assembly demonstrated the importance of the oligomeric intermediates towards the properties of the supramolecular biomaterials being formed. In this study, we demonstrate how the overall yield of the supramolecular assemblies are moderated through subtle molecular changes in the peptide monomers. This strategy is exemplified with a set of surfactant-like peptides (SLPs) with different β-sheet propensities and charged residues flanking the aggregation domains. By integrating different techniques, we show that these molecular changes can alter both the nucleation propensity of the oligomeric intermediates and the thermodynamic stability of the fibril structures. We demonstrate that the amount of assembled nanofibers are critically defined by the oligomeric nucleation propensities. Our findings offer guidance on designing self-assembling peptides for different biomedical applications, as well as insights into the role of protein gatekeeper sequences in preventing amyloidosis.
