Abstract
Infected wounds pose a significant clinical challenge due to bacterial resistance, recurrent infections, and impaired healing. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based strategies have shown promise in eradicating bacterial infections. However, the excess ROS in the infection site after treatments may cause irreversible damage to healthy tissues. To address this issue, we developed bovine serum albumin-iridium oxide nanoclusters (BSA-IrOx NCs) which enable photo-regulated ROS generation and scavenging using near infrared (NIR) laser. Upon NIR laser irradiation, BSA-IrOx NCs exhibit enhanced photodynamic therapy, destroying biofilms and killing bacteria. When the NIR laser is off, the nanoclusters' antioxidant enzyme-like activities prevent inflammation and repair damaged tissue through ROS clearance. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that BSA-IrOx NCs inhibit bacterial nitric oxide synthase, blocking bacterial growth and biofilm formation. Furthermore, the nanoclusters repair impaired skin by strengthening cell junctions and reducing mitochondrial damage in a fibroblast model. In vivo studies using rat infected wound models confirmed the efficacy of BSA-IrOx NCs. This study presents a promising strategy for treating biofilm-induced infected wounds by regulating the ROS microenvironment, addressing the challenges associated with current ROS-based antibacterial approaches.

Abstract
In the history of peptide chemical synthesis, amino acid-protecting groups have become basic, essential, and common moieties. As the use of protecting groups for amino acids effectively suppresses unwanted side reactions and enables the desired reaction to proceed selectively, their use continues regardless of the complexities of the protection processes and the waste generated by the deprotection residues. We developed peptide bond formation between unprotected amino acids to form silacyclic dipeptides. This is the first report of the proceeding cross-condensation between an unprotected amino acid and another unprotected amino acid. The selectivity, reaction yields, and purity of the products were satisfactory. In addition, we demonstrated further elongation of these compounds and achieved convergent synthesis with peptide-peptide elongation without the use of coupling reagents. Thus, these methods showed the potential to unlock a new, more efficient synthetic path toward polypeptides.

Abstract
Biomineralization, the use of biological systems to produce inorganic materials, has recently become an attractive approach for the sustainable manufacturing of functional nanomaterials. Relying on proteins or other biomolecules, biomineralization occurs under ambient temperatures and pressures, which presents an easily scalable, economical, and environmentally friendly method for nanoparticle synthesis. Biomineralized nanocrystals are quickly approaching a quality applicable for catalytic and optoelectronic applications, replacing materials synthesized using expensive traditional routes. Here, we review the current state of development for producing functional nanocrystals using biomineralization and distill the wide variety of biosynthetic pathways into two main approaches: templating and catalysis. Throughout, we compare and contrast biomineralization and traditional syntheses, highlighting optimizations from traditional syntheses that can be implemented to improve biomineralized nanocrystal properties such as size and morphology, making them competitive with chemically synthesized state-of-the-art functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Phage display panning is a powerful tool to select strong peptide binders to a given target, and when applied to inorganic materials (e.g., silica) as a target, it provides information on binding events and molecular recognition at the peptide-mineral interface. The panning process has limitations with the phage chemical elution being affected by bias toward positively charged binders, resulting in the potential loss of information on binder diversity; the presence of fast growing phages with an intrinsic growth advantage; and the presence of false positives from target unrelated peptides. To overcome some of these limitations, we developed a panning approach based on the sequential use of different eluents (Gly-HCl, pH-2.2; MgCl2, pH-6.1; and TEA, pH-11.0), or pH conditions (Gly-HCl 2.2 < pH < 11.0) that allows the identification of a diverse and comprehensive pool of strong binders. We have assessed and tested the authenticity of the identified silica binders via a complementary experimental (in vivo phage recovery rates and TEM imaging) and bioinformatics approach. We provide experimental evidence of the nonspecificity of the Gly-HCl eluent as typically used. Using a fluorimetric assay, we investigate in vitro binding of two peptides that differ by pI-S4 (HYIDFRW, pI 7.80) and S5 (YSLKQYQ, pI 9.44)─modified at the C terminal with an amide group to simulate net charges in the phage display system, confirming the vital role of electrostatic interactions as driving binding forces in the phage panning process. The presented optimized phage panning approach provides an opportunity to match known surface interactions at play with suitable elution conditions; to select only sequences relevant to a particular interfacial system. The approach has the potential to open up avenues to design interfacial systems to advance our understanding of peptide-assisted mineral growth, among other possibilities.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and fabrication of functional nanomaterials with specific properties remain a long-standing goal for many scientific fields. The self-assembly of sequence-defined biomimetic synthetic polymers presents a fundamental strategy to explore the chemical space beyond biological systems to create advanced nanomaterials. Moreover, subsequent chemical modification of existing nanostructures is a unique approach for accessing increasingly complex nanostructures and introducing functionalities. Of these modifications, covalent conjugation chemistries, such as the click reactions, have been the cornerstone for chemists and materials scientists. Herein, we highlight some recent advances that have successfully employed click chemistries for the postmodification of assembled one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures to achieve applications in molecular recognition, mineralization, and optoelectronics. Specifically, biomimetic nanomaterials assembled from sequence-defined macromolecules such as peptides and peptoids are described.

Abstract
Although a broad range of ligand-functionalized nanoparticles and physico-chemical triggers have been exploited to create stimuli-responsive colloidal systems, little attention has been paid to the reversible assembly of unmodified nanoparticles with non-covalently bound proteins. Previously, we reported that a derivative of green fluorescent protein engineered with oppositely located silica-binding peptides mediates the repeated assembly and disassembly of 10-nm silica nanoparticles when pH is toggled between 7.5 and 8.5. We captured the subtle interplay between interparticle electrostatic repulsion and their protein-mediated short-range attraction with a multiscale model energetically benchmarked to collective system behavior captured by scattering experiments. Here, we show that both solution conditions (pH and ionic strength) and protein engineering (sequence and position of engineered silica-binding peptides) provide pathways for reversible control over growth and fragmentation, leading to clusters ranging in size from 25 nm protein-coated particles to micrometer-size aggregate. We further find that the higher electrolyte environment associated with successive cycles of base addition eventually eliminates reversibility. Our model accurately predicts these multiple length scales phenomena. The underpinning concepts provide design principles for the dynamic control of other protein- and particle-based nanocomposites.

Abstract
Dimetridazole (DMZ) is a derivative of nitroimidazole and is a veterinary drug used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial or protozoal infections in poultry. The residues of DMZ cause harmful side effects in human beings. Thus, we have constructed a superior electrocatalyst for DMZ detection. A copper (Cu)-integrated poly(aniline) (PANI) electrocatalyst (PANI-Cu@BSA) was prepared by using a one-step method of biomimetic mineralization and polymerization using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a stabilizer. Then, the synthesized PANI-Cu@BSA was encapsulated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using an ultrasonication method. The PANI-Cu@BSA/rGO nanocomposite had superior water dispersibility, high electrical conductivity, and nanoscale particles. Moreover, a PANI-Cu@BSA/rGO nanocomposite-modified, screen-printed carbon electrode was used for the sensitive electrochemical detection of DMZ. In phosphate buffer solution, the PANI-Cu@BSA/rGO/SPCE displayed a current intensity greater than PANI-Cu@BSA/SPCE, rGO/SPCE, and bare SPCE. This is because PANI-Cu@BSA combined with rGO increases fast electron transfer between the electrode and analyte, and this synergy results in analyte-electrode junctions with extraordinary conductivity and active surface areas. PANI-Cu@BSA/rGO/SPCE had a low detection limit, a high sensitivity, and a linear range of 1.78 nM, 5.96 μA μM-1 cm-2, and 0.79 to 2057 μM, respectively. The selective examination of DMZ was achieved with interfering molecules, and the PANI-Cu@BSA/rGO/SPCE showed excellent selectivity, stability, repeatability, and practicability.

Abstract
Biosilica, synthesized annually only by diatoms, is almost 1000 times more abundant than industrial silica. Biosilicification occurs at a high rate, although the concentration of silicic acid in natural waters is ~100 μM. It occurs in neutral aqueous solutions, at ambient temperature, and under the control of proteins that determine the formation of hierarchically organized structures. Using diatoms as an example, the fundamental differences between biosilicification and traditional sol-gel technology, which is performed with the addition of acid/alkali, organic solvents and heating, have been identified. The conditions are harsh for the biomaterial, as they cause protein denaturation and cell death. Numerous attempts are being made to bring sol-gel technology closer to biomineralization processes. Biomimetic synthesis must be conducted at physiological pH, room temperature, and without the addition of organic solvents. To date, significant progress has been made in approaching these requirements. The review presents a critical analysis of the approaches proposed to date for the silicification of biomacromolecules and cells, the formation of bionanocomposites with controlled structure, porosity, and functionality determined by the biomaterial. They demonstrated the broad capabilities and prospects of biomimetic methods for creating optical and photonic materials, adsorbents, catalysts and biocatalysts, sensors and biosensors, and biomaterials for biomedicine.

Abstract
Achieving predictable biomimetic crystallization using sequence-defined synthetic molecules in mild conditions represents a long-standing challenge in materials synthesis. Herein we report a peptoid-based approach for biomimetic control over the formation of nanostructured ZnO materials in ambient aqueous conditions. A series of two-dimensional (2D) ZnO nanomaterials have been successfully obtained using amphiphilic peptoids with different numbers, ratios, and patterns of various hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains. By investigating the relationship between peptoid hydrophobicity and the thickness of the resultant ZnO nanomaterials, we found the critical role of peptoid hydrophobicity in the peptoid-controlled ZnO formation. Our results suggest that tuning the hydrophobicity of peptoids can be used to moderate peptoid-ZnO surface interactions, thus controlling the formation of ultrathin (<2.5 nm) 2D ZnO nanomaterials. The peptoid-controlled formation of ZnO nanomaterials was further investigated using ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS). Our work suggests a new approach to synthesizing 2D metal oxide nanomaterials using sequence-defined synthetic molecules.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are of great significance for alleviating the growing energy crisis by providing efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions. However, the multiple issues associated with the diverse components in a battery system as well as the interphase problems greatly hinder their applications. Proteins and their subunits, peptides, and amino acids, are versatile biomolecules. Functional groups in different amino acids endow these biomolecules with unique properties including self-assembly, ion-conducting, antioxidation, great affinity to exterior species, etc. Besides, protein and its subunit materials can not only work in solid forms but also in liquid forms when dissolved in solutions, making them more versatile to realize materials engineering via diverse approaches. In this review, it is aimed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the properties of proteins and their subunits, and research progress of using these versatile biomolecules to address the engineering issues of various rechargeable batteries, including alkali-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, metal-air batteries, and flow batteries. The state-of-the-art advances in electrode, electrolyte, separator, binder, catalyst, interphase modification, as well as recycling of rechargeable batteries are involved, and the impacts of biomolecules on electrochemical properties are particularly emphasized. Finally, perspectives on this interesting field are also provided.

Abstract
The synthesis of calcium carbonate with controlled morphology is crucial for its biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized well-ordered porous calcium carbonate nanospheres using recombinant collagen as a biomineralization template. Porous collagen-calcium carbonate was created by incubating calcium chloride and sodium carbonate with collagen biotemplates at room temperature. Our results show that the recombinant collagen-calcium carbonate nanomaterials underwent a morphological transition from solid nanospheres to more porous nanospheres and a phase transformation from vaterite to a mixture of calcite and vaterite. This study highlights the crucial role of recombinant collagen in modulating the morphology and crystallinity of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. Importantly, the highly porous recombinant collagen-calcium carbonate hybrid nanospheres demonstrated superior loading efficacy for the model drug cefoperazone. Furthermore, the drug loading and releasing results suggest that hybrid nanospheres have the potential to be robust and biocompatible pH-responsive drug carriers. Our findings suggest that recombinant collagen's unique amino acid content and rodlike structure make it a superior template for biomineralized synthesis. This study provides a promising avenue for the production of novel organic-inorganic nanostructures, with potential applications in biomedical fields such as drug delivery.

Abstract
The use of proteins as biomolecular templates to synthesize atomically precise metal nanoclusters has been gaining traction due to their appealing properties such as photoluminescence, good colloidal- and photostability and biocompatibility. The synergistic effect of using a protein scaffold and metal nanoclusters makes it especially attractive for biomedical applications. Unlike other reviews, we focus on proteins in general as the protective ligand for various metal nanoclusters and highlight their applications in the biomedical field. We first introduce the approaches and underlined principles in synthesizing protein-templated metal nanoclusters and summarize some of the typical proteins that have been used thus far. Afterwards, we highlight the key physicochemical properties and the characterization techniques commonly used for the size, structure and optical properties of protein-templated metal nanoclusters. We feature two case studies to illustrate the importance of combining these characterization techniques to elucidate the formation process of protein-templated metal nanoclusters. Lastly, we highlight the promising applications of protein-templated metal nanoclusters in three areas-biosensing, diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Chiral mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanomaterials have gained significant attention during the past two decades. Most of them show a topologically characteristic helix; however, little attention has been paid to the molecular-scale chirality of mSiO2 frameworks. Herein, we report a chiral amide-gel-directed synthesis strategy for the fabrication of chiral mSiO2 nanospheres with molecular-scale-like chirality in the silicate skeletons. The functionalization of micelles with the chiral amide gels via electrostatic interactions realizes the growth of molecular configuration chiral silica sols. Subsequent modular self-assembly results in the formation of dendritic large mesoporous silica nanospheres with molecular chirality of the silica frameworks. As a result, the resultant chiral mSiO2 nanospheres show abundant large mesopores (∼10.1 nm), high pore volumes (∼1.8 cm3·g-1), high surface areas (∼525 m2·g-1), and evident CD activity. The successful transfer of the chirality from the chiral amide gels to composited micelles and further to asymmetric silica polymeric frameworks based on modular self-assembly leads to the presence of molecular chirality in the final products. The chiral mSiO2 frameworks display a good chiral stability after a high-temperature calcination (even up to 1000 °C). The chiral mSiO2 can impart a notable decline in β-amyloid protein (Aβ42) aggregation formation up to 79%, leading to significant mitigation of Aβ42-induced cytotoxicity on the human neuroblastoma line SH-ST5Y cells in vitro. This finding opens a new avenue to construct the molecular chirality configuration in nanomaterials for optical and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biomimetic science has attracted great interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, materials science, and energy. Biomimetic mineralization is the process of synthesizing inorganic minerals under the control of organic molecules or biomolecules under mild conditions. Peptides are the motifs that constitute proteins, and can self-assemble into various hierarchical structures and show a high affinity for inorganic substances. Therefore, peptides can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of functional biomimetic materials. With the participation of peptides, the morphology, size, and composition of mineralized materials can be controlled precisely. Peptides not only provide well-defined templates for the nucleation and growth of inorganic nanomaterials but also have the potential to confer inorganic nanomaterials with high catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and biotherapeutic functions. In this review, we systematically summarize research progress in the formation mechanism, nanostructural manipulation, and applications of peptide-templated mineralized materials. These can further inspire researchers to design structurally complex and functionalized biomimetic materials with great promising applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a class of promising material with adjustable function and controllable structure, have been widely used in the food industry, chemical industry, biological medicine, and sensors. Biomacromolecules and living systems play a critical role in the world. However, the insufficiency in stability, recyclability, and efficiency, significantly impedes their further utilization in slightly harsh conditions. MOF-bio-interface engineering effectively address the above-mentioned shortages of biomacromolecules and living systems, and thereby attracting considerable attentions. Herein, we systematically review the achievements in the area of MOF-bio-interface. In particular, we summarize the interface between MOFs and proteins (enzymes and non-enzymatic proteins), polysaccharides, DNA, cells, microbes, and viruses. Meanwhile, we discuss the limitations of this approach and propose future research directions. We expect that this review could provide new insights and inspire new research efforts towards life science and material science.

Abstract
Mitochondria-dependent ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), which remains a clinical challenge due to the lack of effective interventions. Cerium oxide (CeO2), a representative nanozyme, has attracted much attention because of its antioxidant properties. This study evaluated CeO2-based nanozymes for the prevention and treatment of DIC in vitro and in vivo by adding nanoparticles (NPs), which were synthesized by biomineralization, to the culture or giving them to the mice, and the ferroptosis-specific inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was used as control. The prepared NPs exhibited an excellent antioxidant response and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)-depended bioregulation, with the additional merits of bio-clearance and long retention in the heart. The experiments showed that NP treatment could significantly reverse myocardial structural and electrical remodeling, and reduce myocardial necrosis. These cardioprotective therapeutic effects were associated with their ability to alleviate oxidative stress, mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial membrane potential damage, with a superior efficiency to the Fer-1. The study also found that the NPs significantly restored the expression of GPX4 and mitochondrial-associated proteins, thereby restoring mitochondria-dependent ferroptosis. Therefore, the study provides some insights into the role of ferroptosis in DIC. It also shows that CeO2-based nanozymes could be a promising prevention and treatment candidate as a novel cardiomyocyte ferroptosis protector to mitigate DIC and improve prognosis and quality of life in cancer patients.

Abstract
Over the past decades, solid-binding peptides (SBPs) have found multiple applications in materials science. In non-covalent surface modification strategies, solid-binding peptides are a simple and versatile tool for the immobilization of biomolecules on a vast variety of solid surfaces. Especially in physiological environments, SBPs can increase the biocompatibility of hybrid materials and offer tunable properties for the display of biomolecules with minimal impact on their functionality. All these features make SBPs attractive for the manufacturing of bioinspired materials in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In particular, biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensing, and regenerative therapies have benefited from the introduction of SBPs. Here, we review recent literature on the use of solid-binding peptides and solid-binding proteins in biomedical applications. We focus on applications where modulating the interactions between solid materials and biomolecules is crucial. In this review, we describe solid-binding peptides and proteins, providing background on sequence design and binding mechanism. We then discuss their application on materials relevant for biomedicine (calcium phosphates, silicates, ice crystals, metals, plastics, and graphene). Although the limited characterization of SBPs still represents a challenge for their design and widespread application, our review shows that SBP-mediated bioconjugation can be easily introduced into complex designs and on nanomaterials with very different surface chemistries.

Abstract
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are attractive materials for the green preparation of silica nanoparticles via biomimetic silicification. However, the critical factors affecting the ELP-mediated silicification remain unclear. Herein, the role of tunable amino acid residues of ELPs in silicification was studied using three ELPs (ELPs[V9F-40], ELPs[KV8F-40], and ELPs[K5V4F-40]) and their fusion proteins (ELPs[V9F-40]-SpyCatcher, ELPs[KV8F-40]-SpyCatcher, and ELPs[K5V4F-40]-SpyCatcher) with different contents of lysine residues. Bioinformatics methods were employed for the first time to reveal the key physicochemical parameters correlated with silicification. The specific activity of ELPs was increased with the promotion of lysine content with a high correlation coefficient (R = 0.899). Furthermore, exogenous acidic protein SpyCatcher would hinder the interactions between the silica precursors and ELPs, leading to the significantly decrease in specific activity. The isoelectric point (pI) of ELPs presented the highest correlation to silicification with a coefficient of 0.963. The charges of the ELPs [K5V4F-40] at different pH were calculated based on the sequence or structure. Interestingly, the excellent correlation between charges based on structure and specific activity was obtained. Collectively, the novel methods developed here may pave a new way for rational design of ELPs or other peptides for efficient and green preparation of silica nanomaterials for biomedicine, biocatalysis, and biosensor.

Abstract
The binding of peptides and proteins through multiple weak interactions is ubiquitous in nature. Biopanning has been used to "hijack" this multivalent binding for the functionalization of surfaces. For practical applications it is important to understand how multivalency influences the binding interactions and the resulting behaviour of the surface. Considering the importance of optimization of the electronic properties of surfaces in diverse electronic and optoelectronic applications, we study here the relation between the multivalency effect and the resulting modulation of the surface work function. We use 12-mer peptides, which were found to strongly bind to oxide surfaces, to functionalize indium tin oxide (ITO) surfaces. We show that the affinity of the peptides for the ITO surface, and concurrently the effect on the ITO work function, are linearly affected by the number of basic residues in the sequence. The multivalent binding interactions lead to a peptide crowding effect, and a stronger modulation of the work function for adodecapeptide than for a single basic amino acid functionalization. The bioderived molecular platform presented herein can pave the way to a novel approach to improve the performance of optoelectronic devices in an eco-friendly manner.

Abstract
Due to differences in the chemical properties or optimal reaction conditions of the catalysts, the challenge in the design of bio-chemical hybrid catalysts is that the bio-catalysts or chemical catalysts usually cannot maintain the initial catalytic performance. Herein, we report a general bio-chemical hybrid catalyst synthesis method using a natural enzyme scaffold-confined metal nanocluster. A redox-active enzyme is a nanoreactor that allows access to and reduces metal ions into metal nanoclusters in situ, resulting in the enzyme-confined metal nanocluster hybrid catalyst with a synergistic effect to boost catalytic performance. Specifically, bilirubin oxidase-Ir nanoclusters (BOD-Ir NCs) with catalytic properties for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are designed. The BOD-Ir NCs exhibit an approximately 2-fold ORR activity compared with pure BOD and a 4-fold OER activity compared with pure Ir NCs. BOD-Ir NCs exhibit stability for over 50,000 s, exceeding that of pure Ir NCs (22,000 s). The synergistic catalytic performance is attributed to the following: the mild preparation condition and matched sizes of BOD and the Ir NCs maintain the natural activity of BOD; the highly conductive Ir NCs improve the ORR activity of BOD; and the confining effect of BOD, which improves the stability and activity of the Ir NCs during the OER. In particular, BOD-Ir NCs exhibit a high half-wave potential of 0.97 V for the ORR and a low overpotential of 319 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the OER, surpassing most of reported catalysts under neutral conditions. Furthermore, laccase-Ir NCs and glucose oxidase-Pd NCs with synergistic catalytic performances are fabricated, proving the universality of this synthetic method. This facile strategy for designing synergistic hybrid catalysts is expected to be applied to more complex chemical transformations.

Abstract
Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature. Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought inspiration from nature when designing and fabricating hierarchical matter. More and more, however, nature's own high-information content building blocks, proteins, peptides, and peptidomimetics, are being coopted to build hierarchy because the information that determines structure, function, and interfacial interactions can be readily encoded in these versatile macromolecules. Here, we take stock of recent progress in the rational design and characterization of hierarchical materials produced from high-information content blocks with a focus on stimuli-responsive and "smart" architectures. We also review advances in the use of computational simulations and data-driven predictions to shed light on how the side chain chemistry and conformational flexibility of macromolecular blocks drive the emergence of order and the acquisition of hierarchy and also on how ionic, solvent, and surface effects influence the outcomes of assembly. Continued progress in the above areas will ultimately usher in an era where an understanding of designed interactions, surface effects, and solution conditions can be harnessed to achieve predictive materials synthesis across scale and drive emergent phenomena in the self-assembly and reconfiguration of high-information content building blocks.

Abstract
Biomolecules are known to interact with metals and produce nanostructured hybrid materials with diverse morphologies and functions. In spite of the great advancement in the principles of biomimetics for designing complex nano-bio structures, the interplay between the physical properties of biomolecules such as sequence, charge, and hydrophobicity with predictable morphology of the resulting nanomaterials is largely unknown. Here, using various amyloidogenic proteins/peptides and their corresponding fibrils in combination with different pH, we show defined principle for gold nanocrystal growth into triangular and supra-spheres with high prediction. Using a combination of different biophysical and structural techniques, we establish the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth of gold nanostructures and show the effective isolation of intact nanostructures from amyloid templates using protein digestion. This study will significantly advance our design principle for bioinspired materials for specific functions with great predictability.

Abstract
The development of green, low cost and sustainable synthetic routes to produce metal nanoparticles is of outmost importance, as these materials fulfill large scale applications in a number of different areas. Herein, snail slime extracted from Helix Aspersa snails was successfully employed both as bio-reducing agent of silver nitrate and as bio-stabilizer of the obtained nanoparticles. Several trials were carried out by varying temperature, the volume of snail slime and the silver nitrate concentration to find the best biogenic pathway to produce silver nanoparticles. The best results were obtained when the synthesis was performed at room temperature and neutral pH. UV-Visible Spectroscopy, SEM-TEM and FTIR were used for a detailed characterization of the nanoparticles. The obtained nanoparticles are spherical, with mean diameters measured from TEM images ranging from 15 to 30 nm and stable over time. The role of proteins and glycoproteins in the biogenic production of silver nanoparticles was elucidated. Infrared spectra clearly showed the presence of proteins all around the silver core. The macromolecular shell is also responsible of the effectiveness of the synthesized AgNPs to inhibit Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial growth.

Abstract
The natural ability of many proteins to polymerize into highly structured filaments has been harnessed as scaffolds to align functional molecules in a diverse range of biomaterials. Protein-engineering methodologies also enable the structural and physical properties of filaments to be tailored for specific biomaterial applications through genetic engineering or filaments built from the ground up using advances in the computational prediction of protein folding and assembly. Using these approaches, protein filament-based biomaterials have been engineered to accelerate enzymatic catalysis, provide routes for the biomineralization of inorganic materials, facilitate energy production and transfer, and provide support for mammalian cells for tissue engineering. In this review, we describe how the unique structural and functional diversity in natural and computationally designed protein filaments can be harnessed in biomaterials. In addition, we detail applications of these protein assemblies as material scaffolds with a particular emphasis on applications that exploit unique properties of specific filaments. Through the diversity of protein filaments, the biomaterial engineer's toolbox contains many modular protein filaments that will likely be incorporated as the main structural component of future biomaterials.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites with high fluorescent and tunable morphology appeared at the forefront of materials chemistry because of their corresponding impressive optoelectronic properties. The current advancement of metal halide perovskites put forward the functional and bidentate ligand to expand their utilization in modified ligand chemistry. We successfully introduced nontoxic aromatic amino acid as a capping ligand to synthesize the perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). The implementation of aromatic amino acid for the construction of CsPbX3 nanocrystals (NCs) provides the synergetic service of the carboxylic and amine groups with the phenyl residue, which prompts the formation of NCs with high fluorescence intensity. The experimental results demonstrate the emissive property of PNCs in a whole visible region with long-term stability. Additionally, the morphology of the NCs has been tuned. We performed several characterization techniques to investigate the nature of the NCs in the solid and solution phases.

Abstract
Diatoms use peptides based on the protein silaffin to fabricate their silica cell walls. To the interest of material scientists, silaffin peptides can also produce titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Peptide-based synthesis could present an environmentally friendly route to the synthesis of titanium dioxide nanomaterials with potential applications in water splitting and for biocompatible materials design. Two-dimensional nanomaterials have exceptional surface-to-volume ratios and are particularly suited for these applications. We here demonstrate how the silaffin peptide R5 can precipitate free-standing and self-supported sheets of titanium dioxide at the air-water interface, which are stable over tens of micrometers.

Abstract
Methods that allow the study of the structure of proteins in complex with nanomaterials promise to enhance our understanding of how biological molecules interface with inorganic materials. We used single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to demonstrate the potential for cryo-EM analysis to reveal structural details of protein-nanoparticle complexes. Two protein-nanomaterial complexes, namely, GroEL bound to platinum nanoparticles (GroEL-PtNP) and ferritin bound to an iron oxide nanoparticle, were used as model samples. For the GroEL-PtNP complex, a final reconstruction was obtained to 3.93 Å, which allowed us to fit the atomic model of GroEL into the resulting map. This sets the stage for future work and improvements on the use of cryo-EM for the study of protein-nanomaterial complexes.

Abstract
The conventional key steps for seed-mediated growth of noble metal nanostructures involve classical and nonclassical nucleation. Furthermore, the surface of the seed catalytically enhances the secondary nucleation involving Au+ to Au0 reduction, thus providing in-plane growth of the seed. In contrast to this well-established growth mechanism, herein, we report the unique case of a methionine (Met)-controlled seed-mediated growth reaction, which rather proceeds via impeding secondary nucleation in the presence of citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The interaction between the freshly generated Au+ and the thioether group of Met in the medium restricts the secondary nucleation process of further seed-catalyzed Au+ reduction to Au0. This incomplete conversion of Au+, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, results in a significant enhancement of the zeta (ζ) potential even at low Met concentrations. Nucleation of in situ generated small-sized particles (nAuNPs) takes place on the parent seed surface followed by their segregation from the seed. The self-assembly process of these nAuNPs arises from the aurophilic interaction among the Au+. Furthermore, the time-dependent growth of smaller particles to larger-sized particles through assembly and merging within the same self-assembly validates the nonclassical growth. This strategy has been successfully extended toward the seed-mediated growth reaction of AuNPs in the presence of three bio-inspired decameric peptides having varying numbers of Met residues. The study confirms the nucleation strategy even in the presence of a single Met residue in the peptide and also the self-assembly of nucleated particles with increasing Met residues within the peptide.

Abstract
While bio-inspired synthesis offers great potential for controlling nucleation and growth of inorganic particles, precisely tuning biomolecule-particle interactions is a long-standing challenge. Herein, we used variations in peptoid sequence to manipulate peptoid-Au interactions, leading to the synthesis of concave five-fold twinned, five-pointed Au nanostars via a process of repeated particle attachment and facet stabilization. Ex situ and liquid-phase TEM observations show that a balance between particle attachment biased to occur near the star points, preferential growth along the [100] direction, and stabilization of (111) facets is critical to forming star-shaped particles. Molecular simulations predict that interaction strengths between peptoids and distinct Au facets differ significantly and thus can alter attachment kinetics and surface energies to form the stars. This work provides new insights into how sequence-defined ligands affect particle growth to regulate crystal morphology.

Abstract
Among various novel antimicrobial therapies, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) exhibits its advantages for the treatment of bacterial infections due to its high penetration depth and low side effects. In this study, a new nanosonosensitizer (HFH@ZIF-8) that loads sonosensitizer hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), was constructed for killing multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and treatment of in vivo infection diseases by SDT. In particular, the developed HFH@ZIF-8 exhibited enhanced water-solubility, good biocompatibility, and improved disease-targeting capability for delivering and releasing HMME and ablating the infected lesion. More importantly, the presence of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin for HFH@ZIF-8 can offer sufficient oxygen consumption by SDT, augmenting the efficacy of SDT by improving ROS generating efficiency against deep tissue multidrug-resistant bacterial infection. Therefore, this study paves a new avenue for treating infection disease, particularly for antibiotic resistant bacterial infection.

Abstract
The peptide self-assembly would be expected to be as the assistance of metallic nanocatalysts to promote the catalytic reaction, attracting limited attention, but being highly anticipated. Herein, we proposed and verified an alternative strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity of the 4-nitrophenol reduction as a model reaction, by optimizing and constructing "cofactors" inspired amyloid peptide self-assembly applied in the peptide-metal nanocatalysts as the template due to the potential superiority of substrate binding. Amyloid peptide self-assembled membrane exhibited better enhanced catalytic activity, compared to peptide nanofibers as the template in the peptide-gold nanocatalysts. The optimized amyloid peptide was designated by molecular dynamic simulation to display the relative strongest interaction with specific substrate and the relative good template effect on the enhanced catalytic activity was also proved accordingly. This work may shed light on the future design and construction of novel enzyme mimics with dramatic enhanced catalytic activity by peptide assembly-metal nanocatalysts.

Abstract
At-will tailoring of the formation and reconfiguration of hierarchical structures is a key goal of modern nanomaterial design. Bioinspired systems comprising biomacromolecules and inorganic nanoparticles have potential for new functional material structures. Yet, consequential challenges remain because we lack a detailed understanding of the temporal and spatial interplay between participants when it is mediated by fundamental physicochemical interactions over a wide range of scales. Motivated by a system in which silica nanoparticles are reversibly and repeatedly assembled using a homobifunctional solid-binding protein and single-unit pH changes under near-neutral solution conditions, we develop a theoretical framework where interactions at the molecular and macroscopic scales are rigorously coupled based on colloidal theory and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We integrate these interactions into a predictive coarse-grained model that captures the pH-dependent reversibility and accurately matches small-angle X-ray scattering experiments at collective scales. The framework lays a foundation to connect microscopic details with the macroscopic behavior of complex bioinspired material systems and to control their behavior through an understanding of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium characteristics.

Abstract
Biomimetic mineralization based on self-assembly has made great progress, providing bottom-up strategies for the construction of new organic-inorganic hybrid materials applied in the treatment of hard tissue defects. Herein, inspired by the cooperative effects of key components in biomineralization microenvironments, a new type of biocompatible peptide scaffold based on flexibly self-assembling low-complexity protein segments (LCPSs) containing phosphate or phosphonate groups is developed. These LCPSs can retard the transformation of amorphous calcium phosphate into hydroxyapatite (HAP), leading to merged mineralization structures. Moreover, the application of phosphonated LCPS over phosphorylated LCPS can prevent hydrolysis by phosphatases that are enriched in extracellular mineralization microenvironments. After being coated on the etched tooth enamel, these LCPSs facilitate the growth of HAP to generate new enamel layers comparable to the natural layers and mitigate the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans. In addition, they can effectively stimulate the differentiation pathways of osteoblasts. These results shed light on the potential biomedical applications of two LCPSs in hard tissue repair.

Abstract
Metal clusters, such as iron–sulfur clusters, play key roles in sustaining life and are intimately involved in the functions of metalloproteins. Herein we report the formation and crystal structure of a planar square tetranuclear silver cluster when silver ions were mixed with human copper chaperone Atox1. Quantum chemical studies reveal that two Ag 5s1 electrons in the tetranuclear silver cluster fully occupy the one bonding molecular orbital, with the assumption that this Ag4 cluster is Ag42+, leading to extensive electron delocalization over the planar square and significant stabilization. This bonding pattern of the tetranuclear silver cluster represents an aromatic all-metal structure that follows a 4n + 2 electron counting rule (n = 0). This is the first time an all-metal aromatic silver cluster was observed in a protein. Metal clusters, such as iron–sulfur clusters, play key roles in sustaining life and are intimately involved in the functions of metalloproteins.![]()

Abstract
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms form mineralized tissues with hierarchical structures and excellent properties, including the bones and teeth in vertebrates. The underlying mechanisms and pathways of biomineralization provide inspiration for designing and constructing materials to repair hard tissues. In particular, the formation processes of minerals can be partly replicated by utilizing bioinspired artificial materials to mimic the functions of biomolecules or stabilize intermediate mineral phases involved in biomineralization. Here, we review recent advances in biomineralization-inspired materials developed for hard tissue repair. Biomineralization-inspired materials are categorized into different types based on their specific applications, which include bone repair, dentin remineralization, and enamel remineralization. Finally, the advantages and limitations of these materials are summarized, and several perspectives on future directions are discussed.

Abstract
ConspectusThe last decades have witnessed unprecedented scientific breakthroughs in all the fields of knowledge, from basic sciences to translational research, resulting in the drastic improvement of the lifespan and overall quality of life. However, despite these great advances, the treatment and diagnosis of some diseases remain a challenge. Inspired by nature, scientists have been exploring biomolecules and their derivatives as novel therapeutic/diagnostic agents. Among biomolecules, proteins raise much interest due to their high versatility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.Protein binders (binders) are proteins that bind other proteins, in certain cases, inhibiting or modulating their action. Given their therapeutic potential, binders are emerging as the next generation of biopharmaceuticals. The most well-known example of binders are antibodies, and inspired by them researchers have developed alternative binders using protein design approaches. Protein design can be based on naturally occurring proteins in which, by means of rational design or combinatorial approaches, new binding interfaces can be engineered to obtain specific functions or based on de novo proteins emerging from state-of-the-art computational methodologies.Among the novel designed proteins, a class of engineered repeat proteins, the consensus tetratricopeptide repeat (CTPR) proteins, stand out due to their stability and robustness. The CTPR unit is a helix-turn-helix motif constituted of 34 amino acids, of which only 8 are essential to ensure correct folding of the structure. The small number of conserved residues of CTPR proteins leaves plenty of freedom for functional mutations, making them a base scaffold that can be easily and reproducibly tailored to endow desired functions to the protein. For example, the introduction of metal-binding residues (e.g., histidines, cysteines) drives the coordination of metal ions and the subsequent formation of nanomaterials. Additionally, the CTPR unit can be conjugated with other peptides/proteins or repeated in tandem to encode larger CTPR proteins with superhelical structures. These properties allow for the design of both binder and nanomaterial-coordination modules as well as their combination within the same molecule, making the CTPR proteins, as we have demonstrated in several recent examples, the ideal platform to develop protein-nanomaterial hybrids. Generally, the fusion of two distinct materials exploits the best properties of each; however, in protein-nanomaterial hybrids, the fusion takes on a new dimension as new properties arise.These hybrids have ushered the use of protein-based nanomaterials as biopharmaceuticals beyond their original therapeutic scope and paved the way for their use as theranostic agents. Despite several reports of protein-stabilized nanomaterials found in the literature, these systems offer limited control in the synthesis and properties of the grown nanomaterials, as the protein acts just as a stabilizing agent with no significant functional contribution. Therefore, the rational design of protein-based nanomaterials as true theranostic agents is still incipient. In this context, CTPR proteins have emerged as promising scaffolds to hold simultaneously therapeutic and diagnostic functions through protein engineering, as it has been recently demonstrated in pioneering in vitro and in vivo examples.

Snail slime-based gold nanoparticles: An interesting potential ingredient in cosmetics as an antioxidant, sunscreen, and tyrosinase inhibitor. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2021; 224:112309. [PMID: 34563935 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2021.112309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Due to their properties, snail slime-based products have been appreciated and used worldwide. So, as an alternative and innovative use of snail slime, it was adopted to induce gold nanoparticles' formation, conferring them interesting properties. By a simple, one-pot, and eco-friendly approach, 14 ± 6 nm wide hybrid gold nanoparticles, having an inorganic metallic core decorated by the slime's main components, were obtained. Among their several properties, their antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition activity were investigated through the DPPH and ABTS and the tyrosinase assays, respectively. After assessing their non-cytotoxicity in our previous work, the results revealed positive responses, enabling their use as a potential novel multifunctional ingredient in cosmetics. Interestingly, the gold nanoparticle photostability, investigated by means of a solar simulator lamp, suggests using them in commercial cosmetic sunscreen products as a potential alternative to the commonly used inorganic sunscreen ingredients. The theoretical Sun Protection Factor was evaluated, obtaining values in the range 0-12. The proposed environmentally friendly and cost-effective protocol for nanoparticle synthesis, following the principles of Green Chemistry, opens a hugely attractive space toward the study of snail slime-based gold nanoparticles as a potential multipurpose platform in cosmetics.

WATER RESEARCH 2021; 203:117511. [PMID: 34375932 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Efficient and sustainable removal of phosphate ions from an aqueous solution is of great challenge. Herein we demonstrated a greener route for phosphate recovery through struvite formation by using bacterial siderophore. This method was efficient for removal of phosphate as low as 1.3 mM with 99% recovery efficiency. The siderophore produced by Pseudomonas taiwanensis R-12-2 act as template for the nucleation of struvite crystals and was found sustainable for recycling the phosphorous efficiently after twenty cycles. The formation of struvite crystals is driven by surrounding pH (9.0) and presence of Mg2+ and NH4+ ions along with PO43- and siderophore which was further validated by computational studies. The morphology of struvite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, followed by elemental analysis. Furthermore, our results revealed that the siderophore plays an important role in struvite biomineralization. We have successfully demonstrated the phosphate sequestration by using industrial waste samples, as possible application for environmental sustainability and phosphate conservation. For the first time electrochemical super-capacitance performance of the struvite was studied. The specific capacitance value for the struvite was found to be 320 F g-1 at 1.87 A g-1 and retained 92 % capacitance after 250 cycles. The study revealed the potential implications of siderophore for the phosphate recycling and the new mechanism for biomineralization by sequestering into struvite.

Synthesis of near-infrared absorbing triangular Au nanoplates using biomineralisation peptides. Acta Biomater 2021; 131:519-531. [PMID: 34144213 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Triangular Au nanoplates (TrAuNPls) possessing strong plasmonic properties can be used as photothermal agents in cancer therapy. However, the controlled preparation of such morphologies typically requires harsh synthetic conditions. Biomolecules offer an alternative route to developing biocompatible synthetic protocols. In particular, peptides offer a novel route for inorganic synthesis under ambient conditions. Herein, using the previously isolated peptide, ASHQWAWKWE, for Au nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis, the conditions for preparing TrAuNPls via a one-pot synthetic process of mixing HAuCl4 and peptides at room temperature were investigated to effectively obtain particles possessing near-infrared absorbance for non-invasive optical diagnosis and phototherapy. By adjusting the peptide concentration, the size and property of TrAuNPls were controlled under neutral pH conditions. The synthesised particles showed potential as photothermal therapeutic agents in vitro. In addition, peptide characterisation using B3 derivatives revealed the importance of the third amino acid histidine in morphological regulation and potential circular Au nanoplates (AuNPl) synthesis with ASEQWAWKWE and ASAQWAWKWE peptides. These findings provide not only an easy and green synthetic method for TrAuNPls and circular AuNPls, but also some insight to help elucidate the regulation of peptide-based nanoparticle synthesis for use in cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biological molecules have received increasing attention as a vehicle to synthesise inorganic materials with specific properties under ambient conditions; particularly, short peptides have the potential to control the synthesis of nanoscale materials with tailored functions. Here, the application of a previously isolated peptide was assessed in synthesising Au nanoparticles containing decahedral and triangular nanoplates with near-infrared absorbance. The size and absorbance peaks of the triangular nanoplates observed were peptide concentration-dependent. In addition, these fine-tuned triangular nanoplates exhibited potential as a phototherapeutic agent. Moreover, the peptide derivatives indicated the possibility of synthesising circular nanoplates. These findings may offer insight into development of new techniques for synthesising functional nanoparticles having biological applications using non-toxic molecules under mild conditions stituted in the original B3 peptide is underlined.
