Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) are strongly photoluminescent materials with interesting properties for optoelectronics. Especially their narrow photoluminescence paired with a high quantum yield is promising for light emission applications with high color purity. However, retaining these features in solid-state thin films together with an efficient encapsulation of the NPLs is a challenge, especially when trying to achieve high-quality films with a defined optical density and low surface roughness. Here, we show photoluminescent polymer-encapsulated inorganic-organic nanocomposite coatings of 2D CdSe/CdS NPLs in poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), which are prepared by sequential layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition. The electrostatic interaction between the positively charged polyelectrolytes and aqueous phase-transferred NPLs with negatively charged surface ligands is used as a driving force to achieve self-assembled nanocomposite coatings with a well-controlled layer thickness and surface roughness. Increasing the repulsive forces between the NPLs by increasing the pH value of the dispersion leads to the formation of nanocomposites with all NPLs arranging flat on the substrate, while the surface roughness of the 165 nm (50 bilayers) thick coating decreases to Ra = 14 nm. The photoluminescence properties of the nanocomposites are determined by the atomic layer thickness of the NPLs and the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid ligand used for their phase transfer. Both the full width at half-maximum (20.5 nm) and the position (548 nm) of the nanocomposite photoluminescence are retained in comparison to the colloidal CdSe/CdS NPLs in aqueous dispersion, while the measured photoluminescence quantum yield of 5% is competitive to state-of-the-art nanomaterial coatings. Our approach yields stable polymer-encapsulated CdSe/CdS NPLs in smooth coatings with controllable film thickness, rendering the LbL deposition technique a powerful tool for the fabrication of solid-state photoluminescent nanocomposites.

Abstract
Therapeutics, proteins or drugs, can be encapsulated into multilayer systems prepared from chitosan (CS)/tripolyphosphat (TPP) nanogels and polyanions. Such multilayers can be built-up by Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition. For use as drug-releasing implant coating, these multilayers must meet high requirements in terms of stability. Therefore, photochemically crosslinkable chitosan arylazide (CS–Az) was synthesized and nanoparticles were generated by ionotropic gelation with TPP. The particles were characterized with regard to particle size and stability and were used to form the top-layer in multilayer films consisting of CS–TPP and three different polysaccharides as polyanions, namely alginate, chondroitin sulfate or hyaluronic acid, respectively. Subsequently, photo-crosslinking was performed by irradiation with UV light. The stability of these films was investigated under physiological conditions and the influence of the blocking layer on layer thickness was investigated by ellipsometry. Furthermore, the polyanion and the degree of acetylation (DA) of chitosan were identified as additional parameters that influence the film structure and stability. Multilayer systems blocked with the photo-crosslinked chitosan arylazide showed enhanced stability against degradation.

Abstract
The development of new technologies is key to the continued improvement of medicine, relying on comprehensive materials design strategies that can integrate advanced therapeutic and diagnostic functions with a variety of surface properties such as selective adhesion, dynamic responsiveness, and optical/mechanical tunability. Liquid-infused surfaces have recently come to the forefront as a unique approach to surface coatings that can resist adhesion of a wide range of contaminants on medical devices. Furthermore, these surfaces are proving highly versatile in enabling the integration of established medical surface treatments alongside the antifouling capabilities, such as drug release or biomolecule organization. Here, the range of research being conducted on liquid-infused surfaces for medical applications is presented, from an understanding of the basics behind the interactions of physiological fluids, microbes, and mammalian cells with liquid layers to current applications of these materials in point-of-care diagnostics, medical tubing, instruments, implants, and tissue engineering. Throughout this exploration, the design parameters of liquid-infused surfaces and how they can be adapted and tuned to particular applications are discussed, while identifying how the range of controllable factors offered by liquid-infused surfaces can be used to enable completely new and dynamic approaches to materials and devices for human health.

Abstract
With the aim of constructing an S-layer fusion protein that combines both excellent self-assembly and specific ligand i.e., biotin binding ability, streptavidin (aa 16-133) was fused to the S-layer protein of Sporosarcina ureae ATCC 13881 (SslA) devoid of its N-terminal 341 and C-terminal 172 amino acids. The genetically engineered chimeric protein could be successfully produced in E. coli, isolated, and purified via Ni affinity chromatography. In vitro recrystallisation experiments performed with the purified chimeric protein in solution and on a silicon wafer have demonstrated that fusion of the streptavidin domain does not interfere with the self-assembling properties of the S-layer part. The chimeric protein self-assembled into multilayers. More importantly, the streptavidin domain retained its full biotin-binding ability, a fact evidenced by experiments in which biotinylated quantum dots were coupled to the fusion protein monomers and adsorbed onto the in vitro recrystallised fusion protein template. In this way, this S-layer fusion protein can serve as a functional template for the controlled immobilization of biotinylated and biologically active molecules.

Abstract
Nanosized hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlc) with different chemical composition were prepared and used to study protein adsorption. Two soft proteins, myoglobin (Mb) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), were chosen to investigate the nature of the forces controlling the adsorption and how these depend on the chemical composition of the support. Both proteins strongly interact with HTlc exhibiting in most cases a Langmuir-type adsorption. Mb showed a higher affinity for Nickel Chromium (NiCr-HTlc) than for Nickel Aluminum (NiAl-HTlc), while for BSA no significant differences between supports were found. Adsorption experiments in the presence of additives showed that proteins exhibited different types of interactions onto the same HTlc surface and that the adsorption was strongly suppressed by the addition of disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na(2)HPO(4)). Atomic force microscopy images showed that the adsorption of both proteins onto nanoparticles was followed by the aggregation of biocomposites, with a more disordered structure for BSA. Fluorescence measurements for adsorbed Mb showed that the inorganic nanoparticles induced conformational changes in the biomolecules; in particular, the interactions with HTlc surface quenched the tryptophan fluorescence and this process was particularly efficient for NiCr-HTlc. The adsorption of BSA onto the HTlc nanoparticles induced a selective quenching of the exposed fluorescent residues, as indicated by the blue-shift of the emission spectra of tryptophan residues and by the shortening of the fluorescence decay times.

Abstract
In this study, multilayers from polyethylene imine, heparin and chitosan are prepared at three different pH values of 5, 7 and 9. Water contact angle and quartz microbalance measurements show that resulting multilayers differ in terms of wetting behaviour, layer mass and mechanical properties. The multilayer is then formed within a gradient generation microfluidic (μFL) device. Polyethylene imine or heparin solutions of pH 5 are introduced into one inlet and the same solutions but at pH 9 into another inlet of the μFL device. The pH gradient established during the multilayer formation can be visualized inside the microchamber by pH sensitive fluorophores and confocal laser scanning microscopy. From this setup it is expected that properties of multilayers displayed at distinct pH values can be realised in a gradient manner inside the μFL device. Behaviour of the osteoblast cell line MG-63 seeded and cultured on top of multilayers created inside the μFL device support this hypothesis. It is observed that more cells adhere and spread on multilayers build-up at the basic side of the μFL channel, while those cells on top of multilayers built at pH 5 are fewer and smaller. These results are consistent with the behaviour of MG-63 cells seeded on multilayers formed at discrete pH values. It is particularly interesting to see that cells start to migrate from multilayers built at pH 5 to those built at pH 9 during 6 h of culture. Overall, the presented multilayer formation setup applying pH gradients leads to surfaces that promote migration of cells.

Abstract
Small secreted proteins called hydrophobins play diverse roles in the life cycle of filamentous fungi. For example, the hydrophobin SC3 of Schizophyllum commune is involved in aerial hyphae formation, cell-wall assembly and attachment to hydrophobic surfaces. Hydrophobins are capable of self-assembly at a hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface, resulting in the formation of an amphipathic film. This amphipathic film can make hydrophobic surfaces of a liquid or a solid material wettable, while a hydrophilic surface can be turned into a hydrophobic one. These properties, among others, make hydrophobins of interest for medical and technical applications. For instance, hydrophobins can be used to purify proteins from complex mixtures; to reduce the friction of materials; to increase the biocompatibility of medical implants; to increase the solubility of water insoluble drugs; and to immobilize enzymes, for example, biosensor surfaces.

Abstract
A new method for creating substrates made out of ordered collagen fibers, on which cells in culture can align, is proposed. The substrates can be used for research in cell culture, and this research presents a significant advance in the technology to coat implants in order to improve cell adhesion. In the procedure presented here, a molecular solution of collagen is spread at the interface of a saline solution and air to induce fiber formation, compressed at a high speed to induce orientation and deposited on solid substrates via Langmuir-Blodgett transfer. Several interfacial techniques are employed to investigate the behavior of collagen, which is shown to be dependent on the salt concentration of the subphase as well as the temperature. After Langmuir-Blodgett transfer, primary human fibroblasts and adipose-derived stem cells are cultured on the collagen substrates. Both types of cells respond favorably to the collagen orientation and align with the deposited fibers. The technique presented here provides a simple method to produce well-controlled, oriented collagen substrates that can be used in tissue culture research or scaffolding applications without the use of additives and/or bioincompatible materials.

Abstract
The adsorption of myoglobin (Mb) onto nanosized nickel aluminum hydrotalcite (NiAl-HTlc) surface was studied, and the structural properties of the resulting protein layer were analyzed by using FT-IR, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopies. Upon adsorption onto the nanoparticle surface, the protein molecules maintained their secondary structure, while the tertiary structure was altered. The fluorescence spectra and anisotropy values of adsorbed Mb revealed that the emitting amino acid residues are affected by different microenvironments when compared to the native protein behavior. Moreover, the decrease of fluorescence decay times of tryptophan indicated the occurrence of interactions among the fluorophores and the constituents of the nanoparticles, such as the metal cations, which can take place when conformational changes of Mb occur. Raman spectra indicated that the interaction of Mb molecules with NiAl-HTlc nanoparticles modified the porphyrin core, changing the spin state of the heme iron from high spin (HS) to low spin (LS). The enzymatic activity of the nanostructured biocomposite was evaluated in the oxidation of 2-methoxyphenol by hydrogen peroxide and discussed on the basis of structural properties of adsorbed myoglobin.

Abstract
Nature provides inspiration for designing materials and systems that derive their functions from highly organized structures. Biological hard tissues are hybrid materials having inorganics within a complex organic matrix, the molecular scaffold controlling the inorganic structures. Biocomposites incorporate both biomacromolecules such as proteins, lipids and polysaccharides, and inorganic materials, such as hydroxyapatite, silica, magnetite and calcite. The ordered organization of hierarchical structures in organisms begins via the molecular recognition of inorganics by proteins that control interactions and is followed by the highly efficient self-assembly across scales. Following the molecular biological principle, proteins could also be used in controlling materials formation in practical engineering via self-assembled, hybrid, functional materials structures. In molecular biomimetics, material-specific peptides could be the key in the molecular engineering of biology-inspired materials. With the recent developments of nanoscale engineering in physical sciences and the advances in molecular biology, we now combine genetic tools with synthetic nanoscale constructs to create a novel methodology. We first genetically select and/or design peptides with specific binding to functional solids, tailor their binding and assembly characteristics, develop bifunctional peptide/protein genetic constructs with both material binding and biological activity, and use these as molecular synthesizers, erectors and assemblers. Here, we give an overview of solid-binding peptides as novel molecular agents coupling bio- and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Organizing nano-objects, proteins in particular, on surfaces is one of the primary goals of bio/chemical nanotechnology. A highly stable protein scaffold (6His-SP1) was organized into a hexagonal 2D array by a new, versatile method. The protein was expelled from solution into the air/water interface and compressed in a Langmuir trough into a closely packed monolayer without the use of phospholipids or other surfactants at the interface. The 2D arrays formed at the air/water interface were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Abstract
Here, the layer-by-layer technique (LbL) was used to modify glass as model biomaterial with multilayers of chitosan and heparin to control the interaction with MG-63 osteoblast-like cells. Different pH values during multilayer formation were applied to control their physico-chemical properties. In the absence of adhesive proteins like plasma fibronectin (pFN) both plain layers were rather cytophobic. Hence, the preadsorption of pFN was used to enhance cell adhesion which was strongly dependent on pH. Comparing the adhesion promoting effects of pFN with an engineered repeat of the FN III fragment and collagen I which both lack a heparin binding domain it was found that multilayers could bind pFN specifically because only this protein was capable of promoting cell adhesion. Multilayer surfaces that inhibited MG-63 adhesion did also cause a decreased cell growth in the presence of serum, while an enhanced adhesion of cells was connected to an improved cell growth.

Abstract
We have designed an amphipathic peptide, AM1, that can self-assemble at the air-water interface to form an interfacial ensemble capable of switching between a mechanically strong cohesive film state and a mobile detergent state in response to changes in the solution conditions. The mechanical properties of the AM1 ensemble in the cohesive film state are qualitatively equivalent to the protein β-LG, while in the mobile detergent state they are equivalent to the low molecular weight surfactant, SDS. In this work the foaming properties of AM1 are compared to those of β-LG and SDS at the same weight concentration and it is found that AM1 adsorbs rapidly to the interface, initially forming a dense foam like that formed by SDS and superior to β-LG. In addition, under solution conditions where interfacially adsorbed AM1 forms a cohesive film state the foam stability is high, comparable to β-LG. However when the interfacially adsorbed AM1 forms a foam under detergent-state conditions, the foam stability is poor. We have achieved control of foam stability through the design of a peptide that exhibits stimuli-responsive changes in the extent of intermolecular interactions between peptide molecules adsorbed at the air-water interface. These results illustrate the exciting potential of peptide surfactants to form a new class of stimuli-responsive foaming agents.

Abstract
A bioconjugate of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase with alginate was prepared by simple adsorption. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that this bioconjugate resulted from adsorption rather than entrapment of the enzyme as enzyme molecules were visible on the gel surface. The soluble bioconjugate exhibited increased enzyme activity in terms of high effectiveness factor (effectiveness factor was 3 for the immobilized preparation) and greater Vmax/Km value (Vmax/Km increased 25 times upon immobilization). This constitutes one of the less frequently observed instances of lipase activation by lid opening as a result of binding to a predominantly hydrophilic molecule. The bioconjugate was also more stable at 55 degrees C as compared to the free enzyme and could be reused for oil hydrolysis up to 4 cycles without any loss in activity. Fluorescence emission spectroscopy showed that the immobilized enzyme had undergone definite conformational changes.

Abstract
The meaning of the word affinity in the context of protein separation has undergone evolutionary changes over the years. The exploitation of molecular recognition phenomenon is no longer limited to affinity chromatography modes. Affinity based separations today include precipitation, membrane based purification and two-phase/three-phase extractions. Apart from the affinity ligands, which have biological relationship (in vivo) with the target protein, a variety of other ligands are now used in the affinity based separations. These include dyes, chelated metal ions, peptides obtained by phage display technology, combinatorial synthesis, ribosome display methods and by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Molecular modeling techniques have also facilitated the designing of biomimetic ligands. Fusion proteins obtained by recombinatorial methods have emerged as a powerful approach in bioseparation. Overexpression in E. coli often result in inactive and insoluble inclusion bodies. A number of interesting approaches are used for simultaneous refolding and purification in such cases. Proteomics also needs affinity chromatography to reduce the complexity of the system before analysis by electrophoresis and mass spectrometry are made. At industrial level, validation, biosafety and process hygiene are also important aspects. This overview looks at these evolving paradigms and various strategies which utilize affinity phenomenon for protein separations.

Abstract
Designer peptides have recently been developed as building blocks for novel self-assembled materials with stimuli-responsive properties. To date, such materials have been based on self-assembly in bulk aqueous solution or at solid-fluid interfaces. We have designed a 21-residue peptide, AM1, as a stimuli-responsive surfactant that switches molecular architectures at a fluid-fluid interface in response to changes in bulk aqueous solution composition. In the presence of divalent zinc at neutral pH, the peptide forms a mechanically strong 'film state'. In the absence of metal ions or at acid pH, the peptide adsorbs to form a mobile 'detergent state'. The two interfacial states can be actively and reversibly switched. Switching between the two states by a change in pH or the addition of a chelating agent leads to rapid emulsion coalescence or foam collapse. This work introduces a new class of surfactants that offer an environmentally friendly approach to control the stability of interfaces in foams, emulsions and fluid-fluid interfaces more generally.
