Abstract
Human amylin is an inherently disordered protein whose ability to form amyloid fibrils is linked to the onset of type II diabetes. Graphitic nanomaterials have potential in managing amyloid diseases as they can disrupt protein aggregation processes in biological settings, but optimising these materials to prevent fibrillation is challenging. Here, we employ bias-exchange molecular dynamics simulations to systematically study the structure and adsorption preferences of amylin on graphitic nanoflakes that vary in their physical dimensions and surface functionalisation. Our findings reveal that nanoflake size and surface oxidation both influence the structure and adsorption preferences of amylin. The purely hydrophobic substrate of pristine graphene (PG) nanoflakes encourages non-specific protein adsorption, leading to unrestricted lateral mobility once amylin adheres to the surface. Particularly on larger PG nanoflakes, this induces structural changes in amylin that may promote fibril formation, such as the loss of native helical content and an increase in β-sheet character. In contrast, oxidised graphene nanoflakes form hydrogen bonds between surface oxygen sites and amylin, and as such restricting protein mobility. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) flakes, featuring lower amounts of surface oxidation, are amphiphilic and exhibit substantial regions of bare carbon which promote protein binding and reduced conformational flexibility, leading to conservation of the native structure of amylin. In comparison, graphene oxide (GO) nanoflakes, which are predominantly hydrophilic and have a high degree of surface oxidation, facilitate considerable protein structural variability, resulting in substantial contact area between the protein and GO, and subsequent protein unfolding. Our results indicate that tailoring the size, oxygen concentration and surface patterning of graphitic nanoflakes can lead to specific and robust protein binding, ultimately influencing the likelihood of fibril formation. These atomistic insights provide key design considerations for the development of graphitic nanoflakes that can modulate protein aggregation by sequestering protein monomers in the biological environment and inhibit conformational changes linked to amyloid fibril formation.

Abstract
The surface of food processing equipment is easily affected by biofilm-forming bacteria, leading to cross-contamination and food safety hazards. The critical issue is how to endow the surface of contact materials with antibacterial and antibiofilm abilities. A sustainable, stable, and antibiofilm coating was prepared by phase transition of glutenin. The disulfide bonds in glutenin were reduced by tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, triggering the phase transition of glutenin. Hydrophobic interactions and intermolecular disulfide bonds may be the primary forces. Furthermore, the phase-transited products formed a nanoscale coating on the surface of stainless steel and glass under their own adhesion force and gravity. The coating exhibited good stability in harsh environments. More importantly, after 3 h of direct contact, the colony of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus decreased by one logarithm. The amount of biofilm was observed to be significantly decreased through optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. This article provides a foundational module for developing novel coatings.

Abstract
The non-homeostasis of sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands in a complicated microenvironment dramatically impacts the skin health of many people in the world. However, the complexity and hydrophobicity of sebum mean a lack of diagnostic tools, which makes it challenging to determine the reason behind cortical imbalances. Herein, a biomimetic mineralized aggregates (PTL@Au and PTB@Au) strategy has been proposed, which could obtain molecular information about sebum by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The breaking of disulfide bonds leads to changes in hydrogen bonding, which transform the natural protein into amyloid-like phase transition protein with β-sheets. It provides sites for the nucleation and crystallization of gold nanocrystals to build mineralized aggregates. The mineralized aggregates show robust adhesion stability at the interfaces of different materials through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. The stabilization, hydrophobicity (contact angle: 134°), and optical transmission (75%) of the structure could result in superior SERS performance for sebum analysis. It should be noted that this enables the sebum detection of clinical samples while ensuring safety. Such generalized bionic mineralization construction and diagnosis methods also serve as an advanced paradigm for a range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Electronic waste is a growing threat to the global environment and human health, raising particular concerns. Triboelectric devices synthesized from sustainable and degradable materials are a promising electronic alternative, but the mechanical mismatch at the interface between the polymer substrate and the electrodes remains unresolved in practical applications. This study uses the sulfhydryl silanization reaction and the chemical selectivity and site specificity of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction in dynamic covalent chemistry to prepare a tough monolithic-integrated triboelectric bioplastic. The stress is dissipated by covalent bond adaptation to the interface interaction, which makes the polymer dielectric layer to the conductive layer have a good interface adhesion effect (220.55 kPa). The interfacial interlocking of the polymer substrate with the conductive layer gives the triboelectric bioplastic excellent tensile strength (87.4 MPa) and fracture toughness (33.3 MJ m-3). Even when subjected to a tension force of 10 000 times its weight, it still maintains a stable triboelectric output with no visible cracks. This study provides new insights into the design of reliable and environmentally friendly self-powered devices, which is significant for the development of flexible wearable electronics.

Abstract
Bioadhesives have garnered widespread attention in the biomedical field, for wound healing and tissue sealing. However, challenges exist due to the inferior performance of bioadhesives, including weak adhesion, poor biocompatibility, or lack of biodegradability. In this work, we demonstrate the fabrication of hydrogel adhesive based on polypeptides composed of lysine and glutamic acid. The cation-π interaction between the ammonium cations and phenyl groups endows the hydrogel with strong cohesion, and the hydrophobicity of the phenyl group significantly enhances the interaction between polypeptides and the substrate interface, leading to excellent adhesive performance. The equivalent molar ratio of ammonium cations and the phenyl group is beneficial for the enhancement of adhesiveness. Furthermore, we discover that the polypeptides with an α-helix exhibit better adhesiveness than the polypeptides with a β-sheet because the α-helical structure can increase the exposure of the side group on the polypeptide surface, which further strengthens the interaction between polypeptides and the substrate. Besides, this synthetic polypeptide adhesive can seal the tissue quickly and remain intact in water. This adhesive holds significant promise for application in wound healing and tissue sealing, and this study provides insight into the development of more peptide-based adhesives.

Abstract
The increasing concern for environmental remediation has led to a search for effective methods to remove eutrophic nutrients. In this study, Methylobacterium gregans DC-1 was utilized to improve nitrogen removal in a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) via aerobic denitrification. This bacterium has the extraordinary characteristics of strong auto-aggregation and a high ability to remove nitrogen efficiently, making it an ideal candidate for enhanced treatment of nitrogen-rich wastewater. This strain was used for the bioassessment of a test reactor (SBBRbio), which showed a shorter biofilm formation time compared to a control reactor (SBBRcon) without this strain inoculation. Moreover, the enhanced biofilm was enriched in TB-EPS and had a wider variety of protein secondary structures than SBBRcon. During the stabilization phase of SBBRbio, the EPS molecules showed the highest proportion of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. It is possible that bioaugmentation with this strain positively affects the structural stability of biofilm. At influent ammonia loadings of 100 and 150 mg. L-1, the average reduction of ammonia and nitrate-nitrogen was higher in the experimental system compared to the control system. Additionally, nitrite-N accumulation was lower and N2O production decreased compared to the control. Analysis of the microbial community structure demonstrated successful colonization in the bioreactor by a highly nitrogen-tolerant strain that efficiently removed inorganic nitrogen. These results illustrate the great potential of this type of denitrifying bacteria in the application of bioaugmentation systems.

Abstract
The aggregation of proteins at interfaces has significant roles and can also lead to dysfunction of different physiological processes. The interfacial effects on the assembly and aggregation of biopolymers are not only crucial for a comprehensive understanding of protein biological functions, but also hold great potential for advancing the state-of-the-art applications of biopolymer materials. Recently, there has been remarkable progress in a collaborative context, as we strive to gain control over complex interfacial assembly structures of biopolymers. These biopolymer structures range from the nanoscale to mesoscale and even macroscale, and are attained through the rational design of interactions between biological building blocks and surfaces/interfaces. This review spotlights the recent advancements in interface-mediated assembly and properties of biopolymer materials. Initially, we introduce the solid-liquid interface (SIL)-mediated biopolymer assembly that includes the inorganic crystalline template effect and protein self-adoptive deposition through phase transition. Next, we display the advancement of biopolymer assembly instigated by the air-water interface (AWI) that acts as an energy conversion station. Lastly, we discuss succinctly the assembly of biopolymers at the liquid-liquid interface (LLI) along with their applications. It is our hope that this overview will stimulate the integration and progression of the science of interfacial assembled biopolymer materials and surfaces/interfaces.
