Abstract
The pollution of water environments is a worldwide concern. Not only marine pollution by plastic litter, including microplastics, but also the spillage of water-soluble synthetic polymers in wastewater have recently gained increasing attention due to their potential risks to soil and water environments. However, conventional methods to identify polymers dissolved in water are laborious and time-consuming. Here, we propose a simple approach to identify synthetic polymers dissolved in water using a peptide-based molecular sensor with a fluorophore unit. Supervised machine learning of multiple fluorescence signals from the sensor, which specifically or nonspecifically interacted with the polymers, was applied for polymer classification as a proof of principle demonstration. Aqueous solutions containing different polymers or multiple polymer species with different mixture ratios were identified successfully. We found that fluorophore-introduced biomolecular sensors have great potential to provide discriminative information regarding water-soluble polymers. Our approach based on the discrimination of multiple optical signals of water-soluble polymers from peptide-based molecular sensors through machine learning will be applicable to next-generation sensing systems for polymers in wastewater or natural environments.

Design of peptides with strong binding affinity to poly(methyl methacrylate) resin by use of molecular simulation-based materials informatics. Polym J 2021.

Abstract
AbstractPeptides with strong binding affinities for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin were designed by use of materials informatics technology based on molecular dynamics simulation for the purpose of covering the resin surface with adhesive peptides, which were expected to result in eco-friendly and biocompatible biomaterials. From the results of binding affinity obtained with this molecular simulation, it was confirmed that experimental values could be predicted with errors <10%. By analyzing the simulation data with the response-surface method, we found that three peptides (RWWRPWW, EWWRPWR, and RWWRPWR), which consist of arginine (R), tryptophan (W), and proline (P), have strong binding affinity to the PMMA resin. These amino acids were effective because arginine and tryptophan have strong binding affinities for methoxycarbonyl groups and methyl groups, which are the main constituents of the PMMA resin, and proline stabilizes the flat zigzag structures of the peptides in water. The strong binding affinities of the three peptides were confirmed by experiments (surface plasmon resonance methods).

Abstract
Peptides with specific affinities for various materials have been identified in the past three decades and utilized in materials science and engineering. A peptide's capability to specifically interact with materials is not naturally derived but screened from a biologically constructed peptide library displayed on phages or cells. To date, due to limitations in the screening procedure, the function of screened peptides has been primarily limited to the affinity for target materials. Herein, we demonstrated the screening of surfactant-like peptides from a phage-displayed peptide library. A screened phage clone displaying a peptide showed high activity for accumulating at emulsion surfaces with certain assembled structures, resulting in stable emulsions. The surface tension for the solution of the chemically synthesized peptide decreased with increasing peptide concentration, demonstrating certain surface activity, which corresponded to the ability to decrease the surface tension of liquids (e.g., water), owing to the accumulation of molecules at the air-liquid or liquid-liquid interface. Peptides with a randomized sequence did not lower the surface tension, indicating the essential role of amino acid sequences in surface activity. Our strategy for identifying novel functional peptides from a phage-displayed peptide library can be used to expand the applicability of peptidyl materials and biosurfactants.

Abstract
The molecular recognition capability of naturally occurring biomolecules is generally expressed against biomolecules in the biological milieu. Recently, it was demonstrated that the specific interactions of biomolecules such as short peptides were applicable to artificial materials. We have developed peptides with specific affinities for synthetic polymers toward functional biocomposite polymeric materials. In this study, we demonstrated the preparation of biocomposite nanoparticles composed of poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and PPO-binding peptides. A simple injection of a concentrated PPO solution dissolved in an organic solvent into the peptide solution under sonication resulted in the formation of nanospherical structures. Morphological observation indicated characteristic softness and high applicability as a molecular carrier of the biocomposite nanoparticles. Structural characterization of PPO and the PPO-binding peptide revealed the structural conformability of these molecules to interact specifically with each other. Our findings expand the potential applicability of polymer-binding peptides for the future construction of biomedical materials composed of peptides and various polymers.

Abstract
Recently, viruses have been regarded as useful molecular assemblies for materials applications rather than as disease-causing agents. The orderly assembled structures of the viruses are highly related to the resultant properties and functions of the assemblies; however, methods to control the assembly are still limited. Here, we demonstrated the assembly of filamentous viruses into hierarchical nano- to microstructures at liquid/liquid interfaces through emulsification in a controlled manner. The viruses form fibrous nanostructures of several micrometers length, which are much longer than the original virus. Subsequently, the fibers self-assemble into well-packed ordered microstructures. Furthermore, the resultant hierarchically assembled structures showed long-term stability and potential applicability through the desired functionalization. Assembly of filamentous viruses into hierarchical nano- to microstructures in a controlled manner was demonstrated using the liquid/liquid interface.![]()

Abstract
Polymeric micelles and vesicles that are self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers are frequently used in biomedical applications. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO)-PEO, so-called Pluronic, is a Food and Drug Administration approved triblock copolymer utilized in biomedical applications. However, the control of drug loading and surface functionalization of micelles remain challenging due to structural limitations. In this study, Pluronic micelles with various structures were rationally functionalized via the PPO-binding peptide, which was previously identified using a biologically constructed peptide library displayed on filamentous phages. The interactions between the peptide and Pluronic micelles were characterized in detail based on fluorescence changes in an extrinsic fluorescence dye, and a sufficient PPO chain length of Pluronic was essential for the interactions. Furthermore, enzymatic degradation of the model substrate-conjugated peptide loaded into Pluronic micelles showed stable loading of the peptide. Importantly, the exposure level of the conjugated molecules to the peptide was dependent on the PEO chain length of Pluronic, suggesting controllable functionalization of polymeric micelles. Anticancer drug-conjugated peptide-loaded Pluronic micelles with suitable polymeric structures were applied in a cell culture assay. The anticancer efficacy of the loaded drugs can be controlled by the molecular design of the binding peptide and polymers. These results demonstrate that an affinity-based functionalization strategy may facilitate polymeric micelles for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Short peptides have attracted significant attention from researchers in the past few years due to their easy design, synthesis and characterization, diverse functionalisation possibilities, low cost, possibility to make a large range of hierarchical nanostructures and most importantly their high biocompatibility and biodegradability. Generally, short peptides are also relatively more stable than their longer variants, non-immunogenic in nature and many of them self-assemble to provide an exciting range of nanostructures, including hydrogels. Thus, the development of short peptide-based hydrogels has become an area of intense investigation. Although these hydrogels have a water content of greater than 90%, they are surprisingly highly stable structures, and thus have been used for various biomedical applications, including cell therapeutics, drug delivery, tissue engineering and regeneration, contact lenses, biosensors, and wound healing, by different researchers. Herein, we review the progress of research in the rapidly expanding field of short to ultrashort peptide-based hydrogels and their possible applications. Special attention is paid to address and review this field with regard to the stability of peptide-based hydrogels, particularly to enzymatic degradation.

Abstract
Natural supramolecular assemblies exhibit unique structural and functional properties that have been optimized over the course of evolution. Inspired by these natural systems, various bio-nanomaterials have been developed using peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids as components. Peptides are attractive building blocks because they enable the important domains of natural protein assemblies to be isolated and optimized while retaining the original structures and functions. Furthermore, the peptide subunits can be conjugated with exogenous molecules such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and metal nanoparticles to generate advanced functions. In this personal account, we summarize recent progress in the construction of peptide-based nanomaterial designed from natural supramolecular systems, including (1) artificial viral capsids, (2) self-assembled nanofibers, and (3) protein-binding motifs. The peptides inspired by nature should provide new design principles for bio-nanomaterials.

Abstract
Organic polymers are generally regarded as thermal insulators because amorphous arrangement of molecular chains reduces the mean free path of heat-conducting phonons. However, recent studies indicated that single chains of polymers with highly oriented structures could have high thermal conductivity than bulk polymers because stretched polymer chains effectively conduct phonons through polymeric covalent bonds. Here, we demonstrated the possibility of non-covalent virus assembly prepared by simple flow-induced methods toward high thermal conductive polymeric materials. Films with high thermal diffusivity composed of non-covalent bond-based assemblies of liquid crystalline filamentous viruses were prepared using a simple flow-induced orientation method. Structural and thermal characterization demonstrated that highly oriented structures of the viruses in the film were attributed to the high thermal diffusivity. Our results will open attractive opportunities for biomolecular-based thermally conductive soft materials even though the assemblies are based on non-covalent bonds.

Abstract
A simple and efficient approach for the preparation of a biosensing platform was developed based on newly designed peptide-SNS type monomer conjugates. The approach involves the electrochemical polymerization of the peptide-SNS type monomer on the electrode surface. To synthesize the peptide bearing monomers, the SNS-type monomer having a carboxylic acid functional group was anchored to the C-terminal of the peptide by solid phase peptide synthesis via coupling reagents. Utilization of peptides to increase the solubility of the monomers was first investigated in this report. The obtained monomers, soluble in water, were fully characterized by spectral analyses and utilized as matrices for biomolecule attachment. Polymerization of monomers in water has the potential to provide an alternative process for the electrochemical preparation of the polymers in aqueous media, without using any organic solvent. Under the optimized conditions, the biosensor responded to the target analyte, glucose, in a strikingly selective and sensitive manner, and showed promising feasibility for the quantitative analysis of glucose in beverages.

Abstract
Corneal diseases constitute the second leading cause of vision loss and affect more than 10 million people globally. As there is a severe shortage of fresh donated corneas and an unknown risk of immune rejection with traditional heterografts, it is very important and urgent to construct a corneal equivalent to replace pathologic corneal tissue. Corneal tissue engineering has emerged as a practical strategy to develop corneal tissue substitutes, and the design of a scaffold with mechanical properties and transparency similar to that of natural cornea is paramount for the regeneration of corneal tissues. Nanofibrous scaffolds produced by electrospinning have high surface area-to-volume ratios and porosity that simulate the structure of protein fibers in native extra cellular matrix (ECM). The versatilities of electrospinning of polymer components, fiber structures, and functionalization have made the fabrication of nanofibrous scaffolds with suitable mechanical strength, transparency and biological properties for corneal tissue engineering feasible. In this paper, we review the recent developments of electrospun scaffolds for engineering corneal tissues, mainly including electrospun materials (single and blended polymers), fiber structures (isotropic or anisotropic), functionalization (improved mechanical properties and transparency), applications (corneal cell survival, maintenance of phenotype and formation of corneal tissue) and future development perspectives.

Abstract
The association of stem cells with tissue-engineered scaffolds constitutes an attractive approach for the repair of myocardial tissue with positive effects to avoid ventricular chamber dilatation, which changes from a natural elliptical to spherical shape in heart failure patients. Biohybrid scaffolds using nanomaterials combined with stem cells emerge as new therapeutic tool for the creation of 'bioartificial myocardium' and 'cardiac wrap bioprostheses' for myocardial regeneration and ventricular support. Biohybrids are created introducing stem cells and self-assembling peptide nanofibers inside a porous elastomeric membrane, forming cell niches. Our studies lead to the creation of semi-degradable 'ventricular support bioprostheses' for adaptative LV and/or RV wrapping, designed with the concept of 'helical myocardial bands'. The goal is to restore LV elliptical shape, and contribute to systolic contraction and diastolic filling (suction mechanism). Cardiac wrapping with ventricular bioprostheses may reduce the risk of heart failure progression and the indication for heart transplantation.

Abstract
Corneal chemical injury is a general but intractable ocular emergency, the sequelae of which are particularly challenging to treat. Human amniotic membrane (HAM) is one of the resources as a wound dressing for damaged corneal reconstruction, but the concerns related to the possible transmission of infectious diseases are the main drawbacks. Here we present a versatile method utilizing electrospinning and surface modification processes to develop optically highly transparent, microstructurally stable (>20 MPa in tensile strength in the wet state) biomimetic nanofibrous membranes. These membrane nanofibers, mainly consisting of a collagen-hyaluronate interior and a chitosan surface coating, showed superior mechanical and biological performances compared to HAM, and were favorable to the selective adhesion of epithelial cells (corneal, conjunctival) and fibroblasts. The alkali-burned corneal damage model in rats demonstrated that the biomimetic membranes could markedly improve re-epithelialization in corneal tissue within one week. Therefore, such bioactive multifunctional membranes may find widespread biomedical applications in wound healing and postoperative anti-adhesion in the near future.
