Abstract
Dipeptides are minimalistic peptide building blocks that form well ordered structures through molecular self-assembly. The driving forces involved are cooperative noncovalent interactions such as π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and ionic as well as hydrophobic interactions. One of the most intriguing self-assembled motifs that has been extensively explored as a low molecular weight hydrogel for drug delivery, tissue engineering, imaging and techtonics, etc. is Phe-Phe (FF). The backbone of the dipeptide is very crucial for extending secondary structures in self-assembly, and any subtle change in the backbone drastically affect the molecular recognitions. The squaramide (SQ) motif has the unique advantage of hydrogen bonding which can promote the self-assembly process. In this work we have integrated the SQ unit into the dipeptide FF backbone to achieve molecular self-assembly. The resulting carbamate protected backbone modified dipeptide (BocFSAF-OH, 10) has exhibited molecular self-assembly with a fibrilar network. It formed a stable hydrogel (with CAC of 0.024 ± 0.0098 wt %) via the solvent switch method and was found to possess excellent enzymatic stability. The dipeptide and the resulting hydrogel were found to be cytocompatible. When integrated with a polysaccharide based biopolymer, e.g. sodium alginate, the resulting matrix exhibited strong hydrogel character. Therefore, the dipeptide hydrogel of 10 may find its applications in a variety of fields including drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Al-Arjan WS. Self-Assembled Nanofibrous Membranes by Electrospinning as Efficient Dye Photocatalysts for Wastewater Treatment. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15020340. [PMID: 36679221 PMCID: PMC9864269 DOI: 10.3390/polym15020340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Water pollution has become a leading problem due to industrial development and the resulting waste, which causes water contamination. Different materials and techniques have been developed to treat wastewater. Due to their self-assembly and photocatalytic behavior, membranes based on graphene oxide (GO) are ideal composite materials for wastewater treatment. We fabricated composite membranes from polylactic acid (PLA) and carboxylic methyl cellulose (CMC)/carboxyl-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-f-COOH) using the electrospinning technique and the thermal method. Then, a nanofibrous membrane (PLA/CMC/GO-f-COOH@Ag) was produced by loading with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) to study its photocatalytic behavior. These membranes were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in order to investigate the behavior of the fabricated membranes. The degradation kinetics studies were conducted using mathematical models, such as the pseudo first- and second-order models, by calculating their regression coefficients (R2). These membranes exhibited exceptional dye degradation kinetics. The R2 values for pseudo first order were PCGC = 0.983581, PCGC@Ag = 0.992917, and the R2 values for pseudo second order were PCGC = 0.978329, PCGC@Ag = 0.989839 for methylene blue. The degradation kinetics of Rh-B showed R2 values of PCGC = 0.973594, PCGC@Ag = 0.989832 for pseudo first order and R2 values of PCGC = 0.994392, PCGC@Ag = 0.998738 for pseudo second order. The fabricated nanofibrous membranes exhibited a strong π-π electrostatic interaction, thus providing a large surface area, and demonstrated efficient photocatalytic behavior for treating organic dyes present in wastewater. The fabricated PLA/CMC/GO-f-COOH@Ag membrane presents exceptional photocatalytic properties for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. Hence, the fabricated nanofibrous membrane would be an eco-friendly system for wastewater treatment under catalytic reaction.

Self-assembly and disassembly mechanisms of biomimetic peptides: Molecular dynamics simulation and experimental measurement. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 209:785-793.

Abstract
Drug-loaded pH-responsive nanoparticles are potential drug carriers in nanotherapeutics delivery because they can remain stable in normal tissues but can disassemble and release drug molecules in tumors. In this study, the mechanisms of self-assembly and disassembly were investigated by analyzing the characteristics of three kinds of biomimetic peptides with different components and sequences. The structural parameters and energy changes during self-assembly and disassembly were calculated by molecular dynamics simulation. Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to observe morphological changes and measure the strength of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions between peptides. Results show that the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions play crucial roles in the self-assembly and disassembly processes of peptides. The structure of the peptide clusters after self-assembly became tighter as the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions increased, whereas a decrease in this difference led to the increased disassembly of the peptides. In general, polyethylene glycol chain modification was necessary in disassembly, and peptides with straight structures had stronger disassembly ability than that with branched structures with the same components. The morphology of peptide clusters can be controlled under different pH values by changing the composition and structure of the peptides for enhanced drug retention and sustained release.

Abstract
A post-nanotechnology concept has been assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics. Nanoarchitectonics aims to establish a discipline in which functional materials are fabricated from nano-scale components such as atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials using various techniques. Nanoarchitectonics opens ways to form a more unified paradigm by integrating nanotechnology with organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, material chemistry, microfabrication technology, and biotechnology. On the other hand, biological systems consist of rational organization of constituent molecules. Their structures have highly asymmetric and hierarchical features that allow for chained functional coordination, signal amplification, and vector-like energy and signal flow. The process of nanoarchitectonics is based on the premise of combining several different processes, which makes it easier to obtain a hierarchical structure. Therefore, nanoarchitectonics is a more suitable methodology for creating highly functional systems based on structural asymmetry and hierarchy like biosystems. The creation of functional materials by nanoarchitectonics is somewhat similar to the creation of functional systems in biological systems. It can be said that the goal of nanoarchitectonics is to create highly functional systems similar to those found in biological systems. This review article summarizes the synthesis of biomimetic and biological molecules and their functional structure formation from various viewpoints, from the molecular level to the cellular level. Several recent examples are arranged and categorized to illustrate such a trend with sections of (i) synthetic nanoarchitectonics for bio-related units, (ii) self-assembly nanoarchitectonics with bio-related units, (iii) nanoarchitectonics with nucleic acids, (iv) nanoarchitectonics with peptides, (v) nanoarchitectonics with proteins, and (vi) bio-related nanoarchitectonics in conjugation with materials.

Abstract
Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as eye-catching materials in recent years. They are widely used in numerous fields of chemistry thanks to their desirable properties. MOFs have a key role in the development of bioimaging platforms that are hopefully expected to effectually pave the way for accurate and selective detection and diagnosis of abnormalities. Recently, many types of MOFs have been employed for detection of RNA, DNA, enzyme activity and small-biomolecules, as well as for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), which are valuable methods for clinical analysis. The optimal performance of the MOF in the bio-imaging field depends on the core structure, synthesis method and modifications processes. In this review, we have attempted to present crucial parameters for designing and achieving an efficient MOF as bioimaging platforms, and provide a roadmap for researchers in this field. Moreover, the influence of modifications/fractionalizations on MOFs performance has been thoroughly discussed and challenging problems have been extensively addressed. Consideration is mainly focused on the principal concepts and applications that have been achieved to modify and synthesize advanced MOFs for future applications.

Abstract
Proteins are the fundamental building blocks for high-performance materials in nature. Such materials fulfill structural roles, as in the case of silk and collagen, and can generate active structures including the cytoskeleton. Attention is increasingly turning to this versatile class of molecules for the synthesis of next-generation green functional materials for a range of applications. Protein nanofibrils are a fundamental supramolecular unit from which many macroscopic protein materials are formed. In this Review, we focus on the multiscale assembly of such protein nanofibrils formed from naturally occurring proteins into new supramolecular architectures and discuss how they can form the basis of material systems ranging from bulk gels, films, fibers, micro/nanogels, condensates, and active materials. We review current and emerging approaches to process and assemble these building blocks in a manner which is different to their natural evolutionarily selected role but allows the generation of tailored functionality, with a focus on microfluidic approaches. We finally discuss opportunities and challenges for this class of materials, including applications that can be involved in this material system which consists of fully natural, biocompatible, and biodegradable feedstocks yet has the potential to generate materials with performance and versatility rivalling that of the best synthetic polymers.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles based on 9,10-distyrylanthracene (DSA) derivatives (4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))bis(N,N-dimethylaniline) (NDSA) and 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dibenzonitrile (CNDSA)) were prepared using an ultrasound aided nanoprecipitation method. The morphologies of the fluorescent nanoparticles could be controlled by adjusting the external ultrasonication time. NDSA or CNDSA could form spherical nanodots (NDSA NDs, CNDSA NDs) in a THF-H2O mixture with an 80% or 70% water fraction when the ultrasonication time was 30 s. When the ultrasonication time was prolonged to 10 min, NDSA and CNDSA could assemble into nanorods (NDSA NRs, CNDSA NRs). Meanwhile, the sizes of NDSA NRs and CNDSA NRs could be controlled by adjusting the water content in the mixture. As the water fraction was increased from 60% to 80%, the sizes of NDSA and CNDSA nanorods or nanodots reduced from 238.4 nm to 140.3 nm, and 482 nm to 198.4 nm, respectively. When the water fraction was up to 90%, irregular morphologies of NDSA and CNDSA could be observed. The nanoparticles exhibited intense fluorescence emission, good anti-photobleaching properties, as well as excellent stability and biocompatibility. In vitro cell imaging experiments indicated that the nanorods prepared by this simple method had the potential to be used for efficient and noninvasive long-term bioimaging.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembly is a widespread natural phenomenon and has inspired several researchers to synthesize a compendium of nano/microstructures with widespread applications. Biomolecules like proteins, peptides and lipids are used as building blocks to fabricate various nanomaterials. Supramolecular peptide self-assembly continue to play a significant role in forming diverse nanostructures with numerous biomedical applications; however, dipeptides offer distinctive supremacy in their ability to self-assemble and produce a variety of nanostructures. Though several reviews have articulated the progress in the field of longer peptides or polymers and their self-assembling behavior, there is a paucity of reviews or literature covering the emerging field of dipeptide-based nanostructures. In this review, our goal is to present the recent advancements in dipeptide-based nanostructures with their potential applications.

Abstract
Carrier-free pure drug self-assembled nanosystems have been proposed as a promising strategy for synergetic anticancer therapy. Herein, we purposefully designed and synthesized disulfide-modified glutathione (GSH)-responsive natural pentacyclic triterpene betulinic acid (BA) with better biodegradability and biocompatibility to construct carrier-free photosensitive prodrugs BA-S-S/Ce6 NPs for synergistically enhanced and biosafe photochemotherapy. The molecular dynamics simulation elucidates the possible coassembly mechanism that the coplanar arrangement of BA-S-S dimeric may be primarily responsible for the formation of a long lamella-like or spherical morphology. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the reduced energy gap (ΔEST) of Ce6 facilitates the improved singlet oxygen generation of BA-S-S/Ce6 nanoparticles (NPs). The assembled prodrugs exhibited remarkable GSH-responsive property and multiple favorable therapeutic features, leading to enhanced synergistic antitumor efficacy without noticeable toxicity. Additionally, evaluation of the antitumor efficacy of another tetracyclic triterpene stigmasterol (ST)-mediated ST-S-S/Ce6 NPs further confirmed the effectiveness of this rational design. This work provides a promising insight for exploring the pure drug self-assembly behavior and construction of GSH-responsive carrier-free triterpenoid prodrugs toward improved multiple combination antitumor therapies.

Abstract
Inverse photoconductance is an uncommon phenomenon observed in selective low-dimensional materials, in which the electrical conductivity of the materials decreases under light illumination. The unique material property holds great promise for biomedical applications in photodetectors, photoelectric logic gates, and low-power nonvolatile memory, which remains a daunting challenge. Especially, tunable photoconductivity for biocompatible materials is highly desired for interfacing with biological systems but is less explored in organic materials. Here, we report nanofibers self-assembled with cyclo-tyrosine-tyrosine (cyclo-YY) having voltage-regulated inverse photoconductance and photoconductance. The peptide nanofibers can be switched back and forth by a bias voltage for imitating biological sensing in artificial vision and memory devices. A peptide optoelectronic resistive random access memory (PORRAM) device has also been fabricated using the nanofibers that can be electrically switched between long-term and short-term memory. The underlying mechanism of the reversible photoconductance is discussed in this paper. Due to the inherent biocompatibility of peptide materials, the reversible photoconductive nanofibers may have broad applications in sensing and storage for biotic and abiotic interfaces.

Abstract
Lipid bilayer mechanics is crucial to membrane dynamics and in design of liposomes for delivery applications. In this work, vesicles of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) (size from 50 nm to 1 μm) and its mixtures with anionic 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) sodium salt (DOPG) and cationic dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DODAB), have been studied under shear stress at fluid/solid interface and their elastic compliance evaluated. Results show that the rate of spreading of the smaller vesicles (∼70 nm) is about 1.4 times slower than those of larger ones (∼1 μ) and that DOPC has the highest elastic compliance compared with DOPC + DOPG and DOPC + DODAB vesicles. A direct correlation between the elastic compliance and the size of the vesicles shows larger vesicles are more structurally labile during adsorption and subsequent adhesion to solid surfaces than the smaller ones. Specific role of bound water in DODAB is reflected in the lowest elastic compliance of DODAB compared to other lipids. Results show that during the process of adhesion at the fluid/air interface, the vesicles undergo contraction, thereby transmitting mechanical stresses to their microenvironment, which matches the SAXS electron density profiles that indicates larger vesicles have thicker bilayer membranes with larger volume of water compared to the smaller sized ones.

Abstract
A detailed investigation of the structural and conformational properties of alanine-isoleucine (Ala-Ile) and isoleucine-isoleucine (Ile-Ile) dipeptides is presented in water and in methanol solvents. We propose a consistent combination of complementary simulation and experimental methods, covering a broad range of length and time scales, from the very short (i.e., atomic level), via all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, up to the macroscopic one, via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments. The examined samples from both simulations and experiment cover a board range of concentrations since these are usually in different concentration windows (i.e., high values in simulations vs low values in experiments). In the present study, there is an overlapping concentration regime and a qualitative agreement between simulation and experimental results is observed. The effect of temperature on the formed structures is found to be small, from both simulation and experiments, when temperature varies from 278 to 300 K. Furthermore, the differences of Ala-Ile and Ile-Ile dipeptides from dialanine (Ala-Ala) and diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) dipeptides in similar conditions are highlighted. Based on various measures, the strength of the self-assembly propensity of the four dipeptides in aqueous solutions attains the following order: Phe-Phe > Ala-Ile > Ala-Ala > Ile-Ile.

Abstract
Incorporation of non-equilibrium actions in the sequence of self-assembly processes would be an effective means to establish bio-like high functionality hierarchical assemblies. As a novel methodology beyond self-assembly, nanoarchitectonics, which has as its aim the fabrication of functional materials systems from nanoscopic units through the methodological fusion of nanotechnology with other scientific disciplines including organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, microfabrication, and bio-process, has been applied to this strategy. The application of non-equilibrium factors to conventional self-assembly processes is discussed on the basis of examples of directed assembly, Langmuir-Blodgett assembly, and layer-by-layer assembly. In particular, examples of the fabrication of hierarchical functional structures using bio-active components such as proteins or by the combination of bio-components and two-dimensional nanomaterials, are described. Methodologies described in this review article highlight possible approaches using the nanoarchitectonics concept beyond self-assembly for creation of bio-like higher functionalities and hierarchical structural organization.

Abstract
Inspired by the diverse protein-based structures and materials in organisms, proteins have been expected as promising biological components for constructing nanomaterials toward various applications. In numerous studies protein-based nanomaterials have been constructed with the merits of abundant bioactivity and good biocompatibility. However, self-assembly of proteins as a dominant approach in constructing anticancer nanodrugs has not been reviewed. Here, we provide a comprehensive account of the role of protein self-assembly in fabrication, regulation, and application of anticancer nanodrugs. The supramolecular strategies, building blocks, and molecular interactions of protein self-assembly as well as the properties, functions, and applications of the resulting nanodrugs are discussed. The applications in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, gene therapy, and combination therapy are included. Especially, manipulation of molecular interactions for realizing cancer-specific response and cancer theranostics are emphasized. By expounding the impact of molecular interactions on therapeutic activity, rational design of highly efficient protein-based nanodrugs for precision anticancer therapy can be envisioned. Also, the challenges and perspectives in constructing nanodrugs based on protein self-assembly are presented to advance clinical translation of protein-based nanodrugs and next-generation nanomedicine.

Abstract
Amyloids are proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in several diseases and also in normal tissues (nails, spider net, silk). Aromatic amino acids are frequently found in amyloid deposits. Although they are not indispensable, aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, enhance significantly the kinetics of formation and thermodynamic stability, while tape or ribbon-like morphology is represented in systems with experimentally detected π-π interactions between aromatic rings. Analysis of geometries and energies of the amyloid PDB structures indicate the prevalence of aromatic-nonaromatic interactions and confirm that aromatic-aromatic interactions are not crucial for the amyloid formation.

Abstract
Substantial progress has been made in applying nanotubes in biomedical applications such as bioimaging and drug delivery due to their unique architecture, characterized by very large internal surface areas and high aspect ratios. However, the biomedical applications of organic nanotubes, especially for those assembled from sequence-defined molecules, are very uncommon. In this paper, the synthesis of two new peptoid nanotubes (PepTs1 and PepTs2) is reported by using sequence-defined and ligand-tagged peptoids as building blocks. These nanotubes are highly robust due to sharing a similar structure to those of nontagged ones, and offer great potential to hold guest molecules for biomedical applications. The findings indicate that peptoid nanotubes loaded with doxorubicin drugs are promising candidates for targeted tumor cell imaging and chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
AbstractIn the past few decades, stem cell transplantation has been generally accepted as an effective method on the treatment of tissue and organ injury. However, the insufficient number of transplanted stem cells and low survival rate that caused by series of negative conditions limit the therapeutic effect. In this contribution, we developed an injectable hydrogel composed of sodium alginate (SA) and Type I collagen (ColI), as the tissue scaffold to create better growth microenvironment for the stem cells. Compared the traditional SA scaffold, the ColI/SA hydrogel inherits its biomimetic properties, and simultaneously has shorter gelation time which means less loss of the transplanted stem cells. The mesenchyma stem cell (MSC) culture experiments indicated that the ColI/SA hydrogel could prevent the MSC apoptosis and contributed to faster MSC proliferation. It is highlighted that this ColI/SA hydrogel may have potential application for tissue regeneration and organ repair as the stem cell scaffold.

Abstract
Carbon aerogels with excellent conductive characteristics and high specific capacitance have attracted more and more interests for next-generation energy storage applications. Three-dimensional interconnected Mn2O3/carbon aerogel supercapacitor electrodes are prepared by a novel doping method using MnO2 coordinated by N, N-dimethylmethanamide (DMF). The coordinative MnO2 (DMF/MnO2) plays a key role in the sol-gel process of resorcinol and formaldehyde. The doped carbon aerogels exhibits a high specific surface area of 859 m2 g-1 and a good pore-size distribution of 10-15 nm. All of the doped carbon aerogels exhibit higher specific capacitance than pure carbon aerogels, and the highest specific capacitance (170 F g-1), at current density of 1.0 A g-1, is obtained in Mn-CA-5% when 5 mol% DMF/MnO2 is added to the precursor solution. The specific capacitance is as high as 100 F g-1, at current density of 10.0 A g-1, and 97% of initial capacitance is retained over 1000 cycles at a current density of 5.0 A g-1. The doped carbon aerogels exhibits a high coulombic efficiency (up to 99.8%) and a good rate capability. The corresponding result is due to the novel doping method of DMF/MnO2 addition.

Abstract
The effective functionalization and self-assembly of MXene are of crucial importance for a broad range of nanomaterial applications. In this work, we investigated the aggregates of sulfanilic acid-modified MXene (abbreviated as MXene-SO3H) with three model dyes at the air⁻water interface and demonstrated the morphological and aggregation changes of composite films, using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technology, as well as excellent uniformity and reproducibility by using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra. This research has found that cationic dye molecules were adsorbed onto negatively charged MXene-SO3H particles mainly through electrostatic interaction and the particles induced dyes to form highly ordered nanostructures including H- and/or J-aggregates corresponding to monomers in bulk solution. The surface pressure-area isotherms from different dye sub phases confirmed that the stable composite films have been successfully formed. And the spectral results reveal that different dyes have different types of aggregations. In addition, the SERS spectra indicated that the optimal layers of MXene-SO3H/methylene blue (MB) films was 50 layers using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as probe molecule. And the formed 50 layers of MXene-SO3H/MB films (MXene-SO3H/MB-50) as SERS substrate were proved to possess excellent uniformity and repeatability.
