Abstract
Dependence of the dimerization probability and the aggregation behavior of polymeric macromolecules on their flexibility is studied using Langevin dynamics simulations. It is found that the dimerization probability is a non-monotonic function of the polymers persistence length. For a given value of inter-polymer attraction strength, semiflexible polymers have lower dimerization probability relative to flexible and rigid polymers of the same length. The threshold temperature of the formation of aggregates in a many-polymer system and its dependence on the polymers persistence length is also investigated. The simulation results of two- and many-polymer systems are in good agreement and show how the amount of flexibility affects the dimerization and the aggregation behaviors of polymeric macromolecules.

Abstract
Design and control of processes for a hierarchical assembly of proteins remain challenging because it requires consideration of design principles with atomic-level accuracy. Previous studies have adopted symmetry-based strategies to minimize the complexity of protein-protein interactions and this has placed constraints on the structures of the resulting protein assemblies. In the present work, we used an anisotropic-shaped protein needle, gene product 5 (gp5) from bacteriophage T4 with a C-terminal hexahistidine-tag (His-tag) (gp5_CHis), to construct a hierarchical assembly with two distinct protein-protein interaction sites. High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) measurements reveal that it forms unique tetrameric clusters through its N-terminal head on a mica surface. The clusters further self-assemble into a monolayer through the C-terminal His-tag. The HS-AFM images and displacement analyses show that the monolayer is a network-like structure rather than a crystalline lattice. Our results expand the toolbox for constructing hierarchical protein assemblies based on structural anisotropy.

Abstract
The self-assembling behavior of peptides and derivatives is crucial in the natural process to construct various architectures and achieve specific functions. However, the surface or interfacial self-assembly, in particular, on the surface of micro- or nanoparticles is even less systematically investigated. Here, uniform porous CaCO3 microparticles were prepared with different charged, hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces to assess the self-assembling behavior of dipeptides composed of various sequences. Experimental results indicate that dipeptides with a negative charge in an aqueous solution preferred to self-assemble on the hydrophobic and positively charged surface of CaCO3 particles, which can be ascribed to the electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction between dipeptides and CaCO3 particles. Meanwhile, the Log p (lipid-water partition coefficient) of dipeptides has a significant effect on the self-assembling behavior of dipeptides on the surface of porous CaCO3; dipeptides with high Log p preferred to self-assemble on the surface of CaCO3 particles, resulting in the improved cell internalization efficiency of particles with low cytotoxicity. After loading with a model drug (doxorubicin), the particles show obvious antitumor activity in animal experiments and can reduce Dox side effects effectively.

Abstract
The ability of bioactive peptides to exert biological functions has mainly contributed to their exploitation. The exploitation and utilization of these peptides have grown tremendously over the past two decades. Food-derived peptides from sources such as plant, animal, and marine proteins and their byproducts constitute a more significant portion of the naturally-occurring peptides that have been documented. Due to their high specificity and biocompatibility, these peptides serve as a suitable alternative to pharmacological drugs for treating non-communicable diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and cancer). They are helpful as food preservatives, ingredients in functional foods, and dietary supplements in the food sector. Despite their unique features, the application of these peptides in the clinical and food sector is to some extent hindered by their inherent drawbacks such as toxicity, bitterness, instability, and susceptibility to enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. Several strategies have been employed to eliminate or reduce the disadvantages of peptides, thus enhancing the peptide bioactivity and broadening the opportunities for their applications. This review article focuses on the current research status of various bioactive peptides and the strategies that have been implemented to overcome their disadvantages. It will also highlight future perspectives regarding the possible improvements to be made for the development of bioactive peptides with practical uses and their commercialization.

Abstract
The food-derived peptides hydrolyzed from native food protein matrix exhibited various bioactivities and multimeric structures, which make them the promising well-defined nanoplatforms candidates to co-deliver themselves with other bioactive compounds. In this study, zein-egg white derived peptides-chitosan (Z-EWDP-CS) ternary nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully fabricated by the spontaneous assembly to enhance the stability and bioactivity of curcumin (Cur). The novel ternary NPs exhibited a typical nano-spherical structure (138.63 nm, 40.50 mV), and adorable encapsulation efficiency (EE, 93.87%) for Cur. FTIR, XRD and DSC results verified that Cur changed from a crystalline state to an amorphous state, and was successfully entrapped in the cavity of Z-EWDP-CS NPs. Furthermore, the thermal stability, photochemical stability, salt stability, and antioxidant activity were considerably improved in the NPs after the addition of EWDP. Our results demonstrate that the food-derived peptides could be an ideal affinity agent for the co-delivery of themselves with hydrophobic nutraceuticals.

Abstract
Actin plays critical roles in various cellular functions, including cell morphogenesis, differentiation, and movement. The assembly of actin monomers into double-helical filaments is regulated in surrounding microenvironments. Graphene is an attractive nanomaterial that has been used in various biomaterial applications, such as drug delivery cargo and scaffold for cells, due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Although several studies have shown the potential effects of graphene on actin at the cellular level, the direct influence of graphene on actin filament dynamics has not been studied. Here, we investigate the effects of graphene on actin assembly kinetics using spectroscopy and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. We demonstrate that graphene enhances the rates of actin filament growth in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, cell morphology and spreading are modulated in mouse embryo fibroblast NIH-3T3 cultured on a graphene surface without significantly affecting cell viability. Taken together, these results suggest that graphene may have a direct impact on actin cytoskeleton remodeling.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces display an extraordinary repulsion to water and water-based solutions. This effect emerges from the interplay of intrinsic hydrophobicity of the surface and its morphology. These surfaces have been established for a long time and have been studied for decades. The increasing interest in recent years has been focused towards applications in many different fields and, in particular, biomedical applications. In this paper, we review the progress achieved in the last years in the fabrication of regularly patterned superhydrophobic surfaces in many different materials and their exploitation for the manipulation and characterization of biomaterial, with particular emphasis on the issues affecting the yields of the fabrication processes and the quality of the manufactured devices.

Abstract
Controlling supramolecular self-assembly across multiple length scales to prepare gels with localised properties is challenging. Most strategies concentrate on fabricating gels with heterogeneous components, where localised properties are generated by the stimuli-responsive component. Here, as an alternative approach, we use a spiropyran-modified surface that can be patterned with light. We show that light-induced differences in surface chemistry can direct the bulk assembly of a low molecular weight gelator, 2-NapAV, meaning that mechanical gel properties can be controlled by the surface on which the gel is grown. Using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering, we demonstrate that the origin of the different gel properties relates to differences in the architectures of the gels. This provides a new method to prepare a single domain (i.e., chemically homogeneous) hydrogel with locally controlled (i.e., mechanically heterogeneous) properties.

Abstract
Biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, can be self-assembled. They are widely distributed, easy to obtain, and biocompatible. However, the self-assembly of proteins and peptides has disadvantages, such as difficulty in obtaining high quantities of materials, high cost, polydispersity, and purification limitations. The difficulties in using proteins and peptides as functional materials make it more complicate to arrange assembled nanostructures at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Amino acids, as the smallest constituent of proteins and the smallest constituent in the bottom-up approach, are the smallest building blocks that can be self-assembled. The self-assembly of single amino acids has the advantages of low synthesis cost, simple modeling, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo. In addition, amino acids can be assembled with other components to meet multiple scientific needs. However, using these simple building blocks to design attractive materials remains a challenge due to the simplicity of the amino acids. Most of the review articles about self-assembly focus on large molecules, such as peptides and proteins. The preparation of complicated materials by self-assembly of amino acids has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is of great significance to systematically summarize the literature of amino acid self-assembly. This article reviews the recent advances in amino acid self-assembly regarding amino acid self-assembly, functional amino acid self-assembly, amino acid coordination self-assembly, and amino acid regulatory functional molecule self-assembly.

Abstract
The reaction and diffusion of small molecules is used to initiate the formation of protective polymeric layers, or biofilms, that attach cells to surfaces. Here, inspired by biofilm formation, we present a general method for the growth of hydrogels from urease enzyme-particles by combining production of ammonia with a pH-regulated polymerization reaction in solution. We show through experiments and simulations how the propagating basic front and thiol-acrylate polymerization were continuously maintained by the localized urease reaction in the presence of urea, resulting in hydrogel layers around the enzyme particles at surfaces, interfaces or in motion. The hydrogels adhere the enzyme-particles to surfaces and have a tunable growth rate of the order of 10 µm min-1 that depends on the size and spatial distribution of particles. This approach can be exploited to create enzyme-hydrogels or chemically patterned coatings for applications in biocatalytic flow reactors.

Abstract
Self-assembled peptides and proteins possess tremendous potential as targeted drug delivery systems and key applications of these well-defined nanostructures reside in anti-cancer therapy. Peptides and proteins can self-assemble into nanostructures of diverse sizes and shapes in response to changing environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, as well as host and guest molecular interactions; their countless benefits include good biocompatibility and high loading capacity for hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. These self-assembled nanomaterials can be adorned with functional moieties to specifically target tumor cells. Stimuli-responsive features can also be incorporated with respect to the tumor microenvironment. This review sheds light on the growing interest in self-assembled peptides and proteins and their burgeoning applications in cancer treatment and immunotherapy.

Localized Enzyme-Assisted Self-Assembly in the Presence of Hyaluronic Acid for Hybrid Supramolecular Hydrogel Coating. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13111793.

Abstract
Hydrogel coating is highly suitable in biomaterial design. It provides biocompatibility and avoids protein adsorption leading to inflammation and rejection of implants. Moreover, hydrogels can be loaded with biologically active compounds. In this field, hyaluronic acid has been largely studied as an additional component since this polysaccharide is naturally present in extracellular matrix. Strategies to direct hydrogelation processes exclusively from the surface using a fully biocompatible approach are rare. Herein we have applied the concept of localized enzyme-assisted self-assembly to direct supramolecular hydrogels in the presence of HA. Based on electronic and fluorescent confocal microscopy, rheological measurements and cell culture investigations, this work highlights the following aspects: (i) the possibility to control the thickness of peptide-based hydrogels at the micrometer scale (18–41 µm) through the proportion of HA (2, 5 or 10 mg/mL); (ii) the structure of the self-assembled peptide nanofibrous network is affected by the growing amount of HA which induces the collapse of nanofibers leading to large assembled microstructures underpinning the supramolecular hydrogel matrix; (iii) this changing internal architecture induces a decrease of the elastic modulus from 2 to 0.2 kPa when concentration of HA is increasing; (iv) concomitantly, the presence of HA in supramolecular hydrogel coatings is suitable for cell viability and adhesion of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.

Abstract
The next generation of high-performance flexible electronics has put forward new demands on the development of ionic conductive hydrogels. In recent years, many efforts have been made toward developing double-network (DN) hydrogels due to their excellent mechanical properties and unique network structures. However, profound challenges remain in achieving controllable surface morphology and multifunctional integration within DN hydrogels. In this work, we report the fabrication of a multifunctional DN hydrogel by multiple cross-linking between an innovative K+-containing poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) and κ-carrageenan. The resulting hydrogel possesses fascinating physicochemical properties, ranging from remarkable mechanical properties and machinability to adjustable surface morphology and superior adhesion ability. The extremely versatile DN hydrogels exhibited outstanding potential for the future of wearable strain sensors in real-time monitoring of human health, and the optimized design strategy opens new possibilities for the fabrication of multiscale structured and multifunctional integrated ionic conductive hydrogels.

Abstract
The self-assembly of amyloidogenic peptides and proteins into fibrillar structures has been intensively studied for several decades, because it seems to be associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon is important for identifying an effective therapy for the corresponding diseases. Protein aggregation in living organisms very often takes place on surfaces like membranes and the impact of a surface on this process depends not only on the surface chemistry but also on its topology. Our goal was to develop a simple lattice model for studying the role of surface roughness in the aggregation kinetics of polypeptide chains and the morphology of aggregates. We showed that, consistent with the experiment, an increase in roughness slows down the fibril formation, and this process becomes inhibited at a very highly level of roughness. We predicted a subtle catalytic effect that a slightly rough surface promotes the self-assembly of polypeptide chains but does not delay it. This effect occurs when the interaction between the surface and polypeptide chains is moderate and can be explained by taking into account the competition between energy and entropy factors.

Abstract
Protein-based electronic biomaterials represent an attractive alternative to traditional metallic and semiconductor materials due to their environmentally benign production and purification. However, major challenges hindering further development of these materials include (1) limitations associated with processing proteins in organic solvents and (2) difficulties in forming higher-order structures or scaffolds with multilength scale control. This paper addresses both challenges, resulting in the formation of one-dimensional bundles composed of electrically conductive protein nanowires harvested from the microbes Geobacter sulfurreducens and Escherichia coli. Processing these bionanowires from common organic solvents, such as hexane, cyclohexane, and DMF, enabled the production of multilength scale structures composed of distinctly visible pili. Transmission electron microscopy revealed striking images of bundled protein nanowires up to 10 μm in length and with widths ranging from 50-500 nm (representing assembly of tens to hundreds of nanowires). Conductive atomic force microscopy confirmed the presence of an appreciable nanowire conductivity in their bundled state. These results greatly expand the possibilities for fabricating a diverse array of protein nanowire-based electronic device architectures.

Abstract
Osteoporosis therapy consists of inhibiting the osteoclasts' activity and promoting osteoblasts' osteogenesis. Salmon calcitonin (sCT) could realize both requirements, however, it is limited by the low bioavailability caused by fibrillation. Supramolecular assembly of sCT and biocompatible agents into nanoassemblies provides an opportunity to overcome these shortcomings. Herein, we used a facile method to fabricate salmon calcitonin-aspartame (sCT-APM) nanoassemblies. Supramolecular interactions could not only delay fibrillation time (from 36.9 h to 50.4 h), but also achieve sustained sCT release. Moreover, sCT-APM showed good biocompatibility and higher osteoinductive capacity than free sCT, revealing an osteogenesis improvement effect. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that sCT-APM has enhanced relative bioavailability (2.42-fold of sCT) and increased relative therapeutic efficacy (3.55-fold of sCT) through subcutaneous injection. These findings provide a convenient alternative strategy for osteoporosis therapy via supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Hydrogels are excellent scaffolds to accommodate sensitive enzymes in a protective environment. However, the lack of suitable immobilization techniques on substrates and the lack of selectivity to anchor a biocatalyst are major drawbacks preventing the use of hydrogels in bioanalytical devices. Here, nanofilm coatings on surfaces were made of a recombinant spider silk protein (rssp) to induce rssp self-assembly and thus the formation of fibril-based nanohydrogels. To functionalize spider silk nanohydrogels for bioselective binding of proteins, two different antithrombin aptamers were chemically conjugated with the rssp, thereby integrating the target-binding function into the nanohydrogel network. Human thrombin was selected as a sensitive model target, in which the structural integrity determines its activity. The chosen aptamers, which bind various exosites of thrombin, enabled selective and cooperative embedding of the protein into the nanohydrogels. The change of the aptamer secondary structure using complementary DNA sequences led to the release of active thrombin and confirmed the addressable functionalization of spider silk nanohydrogels.

Abstract
Spatial localization of biocatalysts, such as enzymes, has recently proven to be an effective process to direct supramolecular self-assemblies in a spatiotemporal way. In this work, silica nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized covalently by alkaline phosphatase (NPs@AP) induce the localized growth of self-assembled peptide nanofibers from NPs by dephosphorylation of Fmoc-FFpY peptides (Fmoc: fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl; F: phenylalanine; Y: tyrosine; p: phosphate group). The fibrillary nanoarchitecture around NPs@AP underpins a homogeneous hydrogel, which unexpectedly undergoes a macroscopic shape change over time. This macroscopic change is due to a phase separation leading to a dense phase (in NPs and nanofibers) in the center of the vial and surrounded by a dilute one, which still contains NPs and peptide self-assemblies. We thus hypothesize that the phase separation is not a syneresis process. Such a change is only observed when the enzymes are localized on the NPs. The dense phase contracts with time until reaching a constant volume after several days. For a given phosphorylated peptide concentration, the dense phase contracts faster when the NPs@AP concentration is increased. For a given NPs@AP concentration, it condenses faster when the peptide concentration increases. We hypothesize that the appearance of a dense phase is not only due to attractive interactions between NPs@AP but also to the strong interactions of self-assembled peptide nanofibers with the enzymes, covalently fixed on the NPs.

Abstract
Controlling how, when and where a self-assembly process occurs is essential for the design of the next generation of smart materials. Along this route, enzyme-assisted self-assembly is a powerful tool developed during the last decade. Here we introduce another strategy allowing for spatiotemporal control over peptide self-assemblies. We use a Fmoc-peptide precursor in dynamic equilibrium with its low molecular weight hydrogelator (LMWH) through a reversible disulfide bond. In the absence of proteins, no self-assembly of the hydrogelator is observed. In the presence of proteins, their interactions with the precursor initiate a self-assembly process of the hydrogelator around them. This self-assembly displaces the equilibrium between precursor and LMWH according to Le Chatelier's principle, producing new hydrogelators available to pursue the self-assembly growth. One thus establishes a self-sustaining cycle fuelled by the self-assembly itself until full consumption of the LMWH. For proteins in solutions this process can lead to a supramolecular hydrogel whereas for proteins deposited on a surface, the gel growth is initiated exclusively from the surface.

Abstract
The surface bioinspired modification of particles and films is a mainstream direction in biomaterial design and application. The interfacial coating of extracellular-matrix-like hydrogel can endow functional inorganic nanoparticles high circulation stability and biocompatibility but remains challenging due to large surface tension difference between organic gelators and solid nanosurfaces. Herein, the supramolecular hydrogel of NapGdFdFdK around gold nanorods (Au NRs-Gel) has been constructed by the amidation-grafting modification and the protonation-induced interface-assistant assembly of peptide precursors. As a proof of concept study, the acoustic cavitation experiments and in vitro ultrasound imaging have proved that the abundant hydrophobic microdomains as well as the water-rich network in the supramolecular hydrogel can serve as valid sites to efficiently generate and stabilize nanobubbles as cavitation seeds to realize bubble-free ultrasound imaging. In vivo augmented ultrasound imaging and imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy based on the Balb/c mice bearing HeLa tumor model have been conducted. As the first example of using nanosurface hydrogelation to endow nanoparticles with bubble-free ultrasound theranostic ability, this work offers a simple approach to design multifunctional nanovehicles for ultrasound-guided drug/protein/gene delivery.
