Abstract
A focused library of water soluble 1,2,3-triazole tethered glycopeptide conjugates derived from variety of azido-monosaccharides and aliphatic azido-alcohols were synthesized through manipulation at the C-terminus of Pam3CAG and screened for their potential as TLR2 agonistic adjuvants against HBsAg antigen. In vitro ligand induced TLR2 signal activation was observed with all the analogues upon treatment with HEK blue TLR2 cell lines. Conjugate derived from ribose (6e), which exhibited pronounced HBsAg specific antibody (IgG) titer also shown enhanced CD8+ population indicating superior cell mediated immunity compared to standard adjuvant Pam3CSK4. Further, docking studies revealed ligand induced heterodimerization between TLR1 and 2. Overall, the result indicates the usefulness of novel conjugates as potential vaccine adjuvant.

Abstract
Antibiotics may have bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects but may also cause immunomodulation. Lipopeptides are known immunomodulators that interact with pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors in antigen presenting cells. Daptomycin is a novel lipopeptide antibiotic with a lipid moiety and unique structure that in the presence of divalent ions may directly interact with lipid membrane phospholipids, the major component of lipid membranes in immune cells. Daptomycin may also penetrate immune cells including neutrophils and macrophages. However, the possible immunomodulatory effects of daptomycin remain unknown. Understanding these effects is important to determine whether this agent can provide protection against infectious challenge through multiple mechanisms. Preliminary studies suggest that daptomycin may have minimal effects on cytokine production and may have synergistic immunomodulatory effects in combination with other immunomodulators. This review focuses on the hypothesis that daptomycin may also have immunomodulatory effects but further studies are needed to investigate this hypothesis.

Abstract
Peptide-based vaccines offer several advantages over conventional whole organism or protein approaches by offering improved purity and specificity in inducing immune response. However, peptides alone are generally non-immunogenic. Concerns remain about the toxicity of adjuvants which are critical for immunogenicity of synthetic peptides. The use of lipopeptides in peptide vaccines is currently under intensive investigation because potent immune responses can be generated without the use of adjuvant (thus are self-adjuvanting). Several lipopeptides derived from microbial origin, and their synthetic versions or simpler fatty acid moieties impart this self-adjuvanting activity by signaling via Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). Engagement of this innate immune receptor on antigen-presenting cell leads to the initiation and development of potent immune responses. Therefore optimization of lipopeptides to enhance TLR2-mediated activation is a promising strategy for vaccine development. Considerable structure-activity relationships that determine TLR2 binding and consequent stimulation of innate immune responses have been investigated for a range of lipopeptides. In this mini review we address the development of lipopeptide vaccines, mechanism of TLR2 recognition, and immune activation. An overview is provided of the best studied lipopeptide vaccine systems.

Abstract
This paper describes the phase separating behavior of Langmuir monolayers from mixtures of different lipids that (i) either carry already a glycopeptide recognition site or can be easily modified to carry one and (ii) polymerizable lipids. To ensure demixing during compression, we used fluorinated lipids for the biological headgroups and hydrocarbon based lipids as polymerizable lipids. As a representative for a lipid monomer, which can be polymerized in the hydrophilic headgroup, a methacrylic monomer was used. As a monomer, which can be polymerized in the hydrophobic tail, a lipid with a diacetylene unit was used (pentacosadiynoic acid, PDA). The fluorinated lipids were on the one hand a perfluorinated lipid with three chains and on the other hand a partially fluorinated lipid with a T(N)-antigen headgroup. The macroscopic phase separation was observed by Brewster angle microscopy, whereas the phase separation on the nanoscale level was observed by atomic force microscopy. It turned out that all lipid mixtures showed (at least) a partial miscibility of the hydrocarbon compounds in the fluorinated compounds. This is positive for pattern formation, as it allows the formation of small demixed 2D patterned structures during crystallization from the homogeneous phase. For miscibility especially a liquid analogue phase proved to be advantageous. As lipid 3 with three fluorinated lipid chains (very stable monolayer) is miscible with the polymerizable lipids 1 and 2, it was mostly used for further investigations. For all three lipid mixtures, a phase separation on both the micrometer and the nanometer level was observed. The size of the crystalline domains could be controlled not only by varying the surface pressure but also by varying the molar composition of the mixtures. Furthermore, we showed that the binary mixture can be stabilized via UV polymerization. After polymerization and subsequent expansion of the barriers, the locked-in polymerized structures are stable even at low surface pressures (10 mN/m), where the unpolymerized mixture did not show any segregation.

Abstract
The importance of the biological function and activity of lipoproteins from the outer or cytoplasmic membranes of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is being increasingly recognized. It is well established that they are like the endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide (LPS)), which are the main amphiphilic components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, potent stimulants of the human innate immune system, and elicit a variety of proinflammatory immune responses. Investigations of synthetic lipopeptides corresponding to N-terminal partial structures of bacterial lipoproteins defined the chemical prerequisites for their biological activity and in particular the number and length of acyl chains and sequence of the peptide part. Here we present experimental data on the biophysical mechanisms underlying lipopeptide bioactivity. Investigation of selected synthetic diacylated and triacylated lipopeptides revealed that the geometry of these molecules (i.e. the molecular conformations and supramolecular aggregate structures) and the preference for membrane intercalation provide an explanation for the biological activities of the different lipopeptides. This refers in particular to the agonistic or antagonistic activity (i.e. their ability to induce cytokines in mononuclear cells or to block this activity, respectively). Biological activity of lipopeptides was hardly affected by the LPS-neutralizing antibiotic polymyxin B, and the biophysical interaction characteristics were found to be in sharp contrast to that of LPS with polymyxin B. The analytical data show that our concept of "endotoxic conformation," originally developed for LPS, can be applied also to the investigated lipopeptide and suggest that the molecular mechanisms of cell activation by amphiphilic molecules are governed by a general principle.

Abstract
The synthesis of the novel compound PhCH(2)SS(C(24)H(44)N(4)O(10))(C(20)H(41)) (5) for the preparation of tethered bilayer membranes is described. The compound is the all-amide analogue of the previously reported ester-containing membrane-forming material PhCH(2)SS(C(24)H(40)O(14))(C(20)H(41)) (1). The advanced intermediate (C(20)H(41)) C(16)H(28)N(3)O(8) (17) was prepared from the same starting materials using both solution-phase (13% yield) and solid-phase (81% yield) techniques. Monolayers on gold derived from 5 have been analyzed by ellipsometry and FTIR. The monolayers exhibit thicknesses similar to monolayers derived from 1 and possess H-bonded amide functionality.

Abstract
Design and characterization of helical ribbon assemblies of a bolaamphiphilic conjugated polymer and their color-coded transformation into nanofibers are described. An L-glutamic acid modified bolaamphiphilic diacetylene lipid was synthesized and self-assembled into right-handed helical ribbons with micron scale length and nano scale thickness under mild conditions. The ribbon structures were further stabilized by polymerizing well-aligned diacetylene units to form bisfunctional polydiacetylenes (PDAs). Transitions from flat sheets to helical ribbons and tubes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The helical ribbons appear to originate from the rupture of flat sheets along domain edges and the peeling off between stacked lipid layers. These results point to the applicability of chiral packing theory in bolaamphiphilic supramolecular assemblies. Contact mode atomic force microscopy observations revealed that high order existed in the surface packing arrangement. Hexagonal and pseudorectangular packings were observed in flat and twisted regions of the ribbons, respectively, suggesting a correlation between microscopic morphologies and nanoscopic packing arrangements. The tricarboxylate functionalities of the bolaamphiphilic lipid provide a handle for the manipulation of the bisfunctional PDAs' morphology. Increasing solution pH caused the fraying of helical ribbons into nanofibers accompanied by a sharp blue-to-red chromatic transition. A dramatic change in circular dichroism spectra was observed during this process, suggesting the loss of chirality in packing. A model is proposed to account for the pH-induced morphological change and chromatic transition. The color-coded transition between two distinct microstructures would be useful in the design of sensors and other "smart" nanomaterials requiring defined molecular templates.
