Abstract
The understanding of interactions between nanomaterials and biological molecules is of primary importance for biomedical applications of nanomaterials, as well as for the evaluation of their possible toxic effects. Here, we carried out extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the adsorption properties of about 30 small molecules representing biomolecular fragments at ZnS surfaces in aqueous media. We computed adsorption free energies and potentials of mean force of amino acid side chain analogs, lipids, and sugar fragments to ZnS (110) crystal surface and to a spherical ZnS nanoparticle. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) coating on the adsorption preferences of biomolecules to ZnS. We found that only a few anionic molecules: aspartic and glutamic acids side chains, as well as the anionic form of cysteine show significant binding to pristine ZnS surface, while other molecules show weak or no binding. Spherical ZnS nanoparticles show stronger binding of these molecules due to binding at the edges between different surface facets. Coating of ZnS by PMMA changes binding preferences drastically: the molecules that adsorb to a pristine ZnS surface do not adsorb on PMMA-coated surfaces, while some others, particularly hydrophobic or aromatic amino-acids, show high binding affinity due to binding to the coating. We investigate further the hydration properties of the ZnS surface and relate them to the binding preferences of biomolecules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Improving biocompatibility of metallic alloy biomaterials has been of great interest to prevent implant associated-diseases, such as stent thrombosis. Herein a simple and efficient procedure was designed to biofunctionalize a biomaterial surface by isolating a SUS316L stainless steel binding peptide. RESULTS After three rounds of phage panning procedure, 12 mer peptide (SBP-A; VQHNTKYSVVIR) was identified as SUS316L-binding peptide. The SBP-A peptide formed a stable bond to a SUS316L modified surface and was not toxic to HUVECs. The SBP-A was then used for anti-ICAM antibody modification on SUS316L to construct a vascular endothelial cell-selective surface. The constructed surface dominantly immobilized vascular endothelial cells to smooth muscle cells, demonstrating that the SBP-A enabled simple immobilization of biomolecules without disturbing their active biological function. CONCLUSIONS The SUS316L surface was successfully biofunctionalized using the novel isolated peptide SBP-A, showing its potential as an ideal interface molecule for stent modification. This is the first report of material binding peptide-based optimal surface functionalization to promote endothelialisation. This simple and efficient biofunctionalization procedure is expected to contribute to the development of biocompatible materials.

Abstract
Vasculogenesis (de novo formation of vessels) induced by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is requisite for vascularized bone regeneration. However, there exist few available options for promoting vasculogenesis within artificial bone grafts except for exogenous EPC transplantation, which suffers from the source of EPC, safety, cost, and time concerns in clinical applications. This study aimed at endogenous EPC recruitment for vascularized bone regeneration by using a bioinspired EPC-induced graft. The EPC-induced graft was created by immobilizing two bioactive peptides, WKYMVm and YIGSR, on the surface of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poliglecaprone (PGC) nanofibrous scaffolds via a polyglycolic acid (PGA)-binding peptide sequence. Remarkable immobilization efficacy of WKYMVm and YIGSR peptides and their sustained release (over 14 days) from scaffolds were observed. In vivo and in vitro studies showed robust recruitment of EPCs, which subsequently contributed to early vasculogenesis and ultimate bone regeneration. The dual-peptide-functionalized nanofibrous scaffolds proposed in this study provide a promising therapeutic strategy for vasculogenesis in bone defect repair.

Abstract
Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures, physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past decade, investment in research on materials such as ZnO, TiO2, SiO2, and GeO2 has significantly increased. Besides traditional approaches, the synthesis, shaping, structural patterning, and postprocessing chemical functionalization of the materials surface is inspired by strategies which mimic processes in nature. Would such materials deliver new technologies? Answering this question requires the merging of historical knowledge and current research from different fields of science. Practically, we need an effective defragmentation of the research area. From our perspective, the superficial accounting of material properties, chemistry of the surfaces, and the behavior of biomolecules next to such surfaces is a problem. This is particularly of concern when we wish to bridge between technologies in vitro and biotechnologies in vivo. Further, besides the potential practical technological efficiency and advantages such materials might exhibit, we have to consider the wider long-term implications of material stability and toxicity. In this contribution, we present a critical review of recent advances in the chemistry and engineering of MO-based biocomposites, highlighting the role of interactions at the interface and the techniques by which these can be studied. At the end of the article, we outline the challenges which hamper progress in research and extrapolate to developing and promising directions including additive manufacturing and synthetic biology that could benefit from molecular level understanding of interactions occurring between inanimate (abiotic) and living (biotic) materials.

Abstract
A powerful tool for controlling interfacial properties and molecular architecture relies on the tailored adsorption of stimuli-responsive block copolymers onto surfaces. Here, we use computational and experimental approaches to investigate the adsorption behavior of thermally responsive polypeptide block copolymers (elastin-like polypeptides, ELPs) onto silica surfaces, and to explore the effects of surface affinity and micellization on the adsorption kinetics and the resultant polypeptide layers. We demonstrate that genetic incorporation of a silica-binding peptide (silaffin R5) results in enhanced adsorption of these block copolymers onto silica surfaces as measured by quartz crystal microbalance and ellipsometry. We find that the silaffin peptide can also direct micelle adsorption, leading to close-packed micellar arrangements that are distinct from the sparse, patchy arrangements observed for ELP micelles lacking a silaffin tag, as evidenced by atomic force microscopy measurements. These experimental findings are consistent with results of dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Wettability measurements suggest that surface immobilization hampers the temperature-dependent conformational change of ELP micelles, while adsorbed ELP unimers (i.e., unmicellized block copolymers) retain their thermally responsive property at interfaces. These observations provide guidance on the use of ELP block copolymers as building blocks for fabricating smart surfaces and interfaces with programmable architecture and functionality.

Abstract
Background Zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZNP) has been applied in various biomedical fields. Here, we investigated the usage of ZNP as an antigen carrier for vaccine development by combining a high affinity peptide to ZNP. Results A novel zinc oxide-binding peptide (ZBP), FPYPGGDA, with high affinity to ZNP (Ka = 2.26 × 106 M−1) was isolated from a random peptide library and fused with a bacterial antigen, ScaA of Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus. The ZNP/ZBP-ScaA complex was efficiently phagocytosed by a dendritic cell line, DC2.4, in vitro and significantly enhanced anti-ScaA antibody responses in vivo compared to control groups. In addition, immunization with the ZNP/ZBP-ScaA complex promoted the generation of IFN-γ-secreting T cells in an antigen-dependent manner. Finally, we observed that ZNP/ZBP-ScaA immunization provided protective immunity against lethal challenge of O. tsutsugamushi, indicating that ZNP can be used as a potent adjuvant when complexed with ZBP-conjugated antigen. Conclusions ZNPs possess good adjuvant potential as a vaccine carrier when combined with an antigen having a high affinity to ZNP. When complexed with ZBP-ScaA antigen, ZNPs could induce strong antibody responses as well as protective immunity against lethal challenges of O. tsutsugamushi. Therefore, application of ZNPs combined with a specific soluble antigen could be a promising strategy as a novel vaccine carrier system.

Abstract
Patterning cells on material surfaces is an important tool for the study of fundamental cell biology, tissue engineering, and cell-based bioassays. Here, the authors report a simple approach to pattern cells on gold patterned silicon substrates with high precision, fidelity, and stability. Cell patterning is achieved by exploiting adsorbed biopolymer orientation to either enhance (gold regions) or impede (silicon oxide regions) cell adhesion at particular locations on the patterned surface. Genetic incorporation of gold binding domains enables C-terminal chemisorption of polypeptides onto gold regions with enhanced accessibility of N-terminal cell binding domains. In contrast, the orientation of polypeptides adsorbed on the silicon oxide regions limit the accessibility of the cell binding domains. The dissimilar accessibility of cell binding domains on the gold and silicon oxide regions directs the cell adhesion in a spatially controlled manner in serum-free medium, leading to the formation of well-defined cellular patterns. The cells are confined within the polypeptide-modified gold regions and are viable for eight weeks, suggesting that bioactive polypeptide modified surfaces are suitable for long-term maintenance of patterned cells. This study demonstrates an innovative surface-engineering approach for cell patterning by exploiting distinct ligand accessibility on heterogeneous surfaces.

Abstract
Crystalline assemblies of fluorescent molecules have different functional properties than the constituent monomers, as well as unique optical characteristics that depend on the structure, size, and morphological homogeneity of the crystal particles. In this study, we selected peptides with affinity for the surface of perylene crystal particles by exposing a peptide-displaying phage library in aqueous solution to perylene crystals, eluting the surface-bound phages by means of acidic desorption or liquid-liquid extraction, and amplifying the obtained phages in Escherichia coli. One of the perylene-binding peptides, PeryBPb1: VQHNTKYSVVIR, selected by this biopanning procedure induced perylene molecules to form homogenous planar crystal nanoparticles by means of a poor solvent method, and fusion of the peptide to a fluorescent protein enabled one-pot formation of protein-immobilized crystalline nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were well-dispersed in aqueous solution, and Förster resonance energy transfer from the perylene crystals to the fluorescent protein was observed. Our results show that the crystal-binding peptide could be used for simultaneous control of perylene crystal morphology and dispersion and protein immobilization on the crystals.

While material-specific peptide binding sequences have been identified using a combination of combinatorial methods and computational modeling tools, a deep molecular level understanding of the fundamental principles through which these interactions occur and in some instances modify the morphology of inorganic materials is far from being fully realized. Understanding the thermodynamic changes that occur during peptide-inorganic interactions and correlating these to structural modifications of the inorganic materials could be the key to achieving and mastering control over material formation processes. This study is a detailed investigation applying isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to directly probe thermodynamic changes that occur during interaction of ZnO binding peptides (ZnO-BPs) and ZnO. The ZnO-BPs used are reported sequences G-12 (GLHVMHKVAPPR), GT-16 (GLHVMHKVAPPR-GGGC), and alanine mutants of G-12 (G-12A6, G-12A11, and G-12A12) whose interaction with ZnO during solution synthesis studies have been extensively investigated. The interactions of the ZnO-BPs with ZnO yielded biphasic isotherms comprising both an endothermic and an exothermic event. Qualitative differences were observed in the isothermal profiles of the different peptides and ZnO particles studied. Measured ΔG values were between -6 and -8.5 kcal/mol, and high adsorption affinity values indicated the occurrence of favorable ZnO-BP-ZnO interactions. ITC has great potential in its use to understand peptide-inorganic interactions, and with continued development, the knowledge gained may be instrumental for simplification of selection processes of organic molecules for the advancement of material synthesis and design.

Abstract
Elongated and flexuous recombinant nanoparticles were derived from Turnip mosaic virus to be used as bioscaffolds for increased peptide immunogenicity and peptide-specific antibody sensing. For this purpose, a 20-amino acid peptide derived from human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR-3) was fused to the N-terminal region of Turnip mosaic virus coat protein (CP) by genetic insertion. The insertion was between codons corresponding to the first and second amino acids of the CP in two versions of a previously reported virus-derived vector. Systemic infections of two genetic constructs were achieved in two different plant hosts. The construct proved stable upon successive passages and generated virus nanoparticles identifiable under the electron microscope. The chimeric structures held the VEGFR-3 peptide. Purified VER3 nanoparticles were used to immunize mice, whose sera showed log increases of antibodies against the VEGFR-3 peptide when compared with mice immunized with peptide alone, thus providing the first quantitative data on the potential of elongated flexuous viruses for peptide immunogenicity increases. Purified VER3 nanoparticles also showed log increases in their ability to detect VER3 antibodies in sera, when used as reagents in ELISA assays, an application also used here for the first time.

Abstract
The grating substrate covered with a metal layer, a plasmonic chip, and a bispecific antibody can play a key role in the sensitive detection of a marker protein with an immunosensor, because of the provision of an enhanced fluorescence signal and the preparation of a sensor surface densely modified with capture antibody, respectively. In this study, one of the tumor markers, a soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (sEGFR), was selected as the target to be detected. The ZnO- and silver-coated plasmonic chip with precise regularity and the appropriate duty ratio in the periodic structure further enhanced the fluorescence intensity. As for sensor surface modification with capture antibody, a bispecific antibody (anti-sEGFR and anti-ZnO antibody), the concentrated bispecific antibody solution was found to nonlinearly form a surface densely immobilized with antibody, because the binding process of a bispecific antibody to the ZnO surface can be a competitive process with adsorption of phosphate. As a result, the interface on the plasmonic chip provided a 300× enhanced fluorescence signal compared with that on a ZnO-coated glass slide, and therefore sEGFR was found to be quantitatively detected in a wide concentration range from 10 nM to 700 fM on our plasmonic surface.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) has potential applications in solar cells, chemical sensors, and piezoelectronic and optoelectronic devices due to its attractive physical and chemical properties. Recently, a solution-phase method has been used to synthesize ZnO crystals with diverse (from simple to hierarchical) nanostructures that is simple, of low cost, and scalable. This method requires template molecules to control the morphology of the ZnO crystals. In this paper, we describe the design and synthesis of two short peptides (RU-003,Ac-AIEKAXEIA-NH(2); RU-027, EAHVMHKVAPRPGGGAIEKAXEIA-NH(2); X = l-2-naphthylalanine) and the characterization of their self-assembled nanostructures. We also report their potential for ZnO mineralization and the alignment of ZnO nanoparticles along peptide nanostructures at room temperature. Interestingly, nonapeptide RU-003 predominantly formed a straight fibrous structure and induced the nucleation of ZnO at its surface, leading to an alignment of ZnO nanoparticles along a peptide nanofiber. This novel method holds promise for the room-temperature fabrication of ZnO catalysts with increased specific surface area, ZnO-gated transistors, and ZnO-based nanomaterials for optical applications.

Abstract
Antibodies, with their high affinity and specificity, are widely utilized in the field of protein engineering, medicinal chemistry, and nanotechnology applications, and our recent studies have demonstrated the recognition and binding of antibody for the surface on inorganic material. In this study, we generated a high-affinity gold-binding antibody fragment by a combination of peptide-grafting and phage-display techniques and showed the availability of the material-binding fragment for one-pot functionalization of nanoparticles as interface molecules. After a gold-binding peptide sequence was grafted into one of the complementarity determining regions of a single variable domain of a heavy-chain camel antibody, a combinatorial library approach raised by 20 times the affinity of the peptide-grafted fragment. The high-affinity gold-binding fragment (E32) spontaneously adsorbed on gold nanoparticles, and consequently the nanoparticles formed a stable dispersion in a high-ionic-strength solution. Multivalent and bispecific antibodies constructed on the E32 platform by means of fusion technology functionalized gold nanoparticles in one pot, and these functionalized nanoparticles could be used to obtain surface plasmon resonance scattering images of cancer cells and to spontaneously link two different nanomaterials. Here, we propose the bispecific antibodies as convenient interface molecules in the nanosized world.

Abstract
We report that several tryptophan-rich peptides exhibit an affinity for a hydrophobic ionic liquid (IL) (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), and that green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to a peptides, "SSSWWSWWWW" (SW1) or "SWWWWSWWWW" (SW2), containing serine (S) and tryptophan (W) at the C terminus localized at the IL/water interface. While GFPs without W-rich peptide distributed only in water phase, SW1- and SW2-GFPs were accumulated at the interface. The localization of SW1-GFP showed biphasic behavior, and most distinctive localization was observed at 7.1 μM. The localization of SW2-GFP presumably occurred at largely lower concentration (≤0.5 μM) than that of SW1-GFP, which difference was due to the higher hydrophobicity of SW2 peptide.

Abstract
Using an artificial peptide library, we have identified a peptide that has strict selective affinity for ZnO surfaces. The binding affinity of the peptide on the ZnO surface can be controlled simply through changes in phosphate concentration at constant pH and temperature. In this study, we functionalized inorganic nanoparticles by orderly conjugating ZnO-binding peptides (ZnOBPs) on the surface of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles and performed spontaneous and reversible nanopatterning of ZnOBP-displayed nanoparticles on lithographed ZnO films. Conjugation of ZnOBPs on CdSe nanoparticles caused spontaneous adsorption of the nanoparticles on a ZnO film, and fluorescence and cathodoluminescence images clearly showed specific adsorption of nanoparticles on the ZnO films lithographed on nano- and micrometer scales. The selectively bound nanoparticles on ZnO films were completely released by changing the phosphate concentration in solution; such release did not require heat or mechanical applications. Repeated capture and release of nanoparticles were achieved on the micrometer scale. Our results show the potential of material-binding peptides for nanopatterning and dynamic microarrays.

Abstract
Cellulose, one of the most abundant carbon resources, is degraded by cellulolytic enzymes called cellulases. Cellulases are generally modular proteins with independent catalytic and cellulose-binding domain (CBD) modules and, in some bacteria, catalytic modules are noncovalently assembled on a scaffold protein with CBD to form a giant protein complex called a cellulosome, which efficiently degrades water-insoluble hard materials. In this study, a catalytic module and CBD are independently prepared by recombinant means, and are heterogeneously clustered on streptavidin and on inorganic nanoparticles for the construction of artificial cellulosomes. Heteroclustering of the catalytic module with CBD results in significant improvements in the enzyme's degradation activity for water-insoluble substrates. In particular, the increase of CBD valency in the cluster structure critically enhances the catalytic activity by improving the affinity for substrates, and clustering with multiple CBDs on CdSe nanoparticles generates a 7.2-fold increase in the production of reducing sugars relative to that of the native free enzyme. The multivalent design of substrate-binding domain on clustered cellulases is important for the construction of the artificial cellulosome, and the nanoparticles are an effective scaffold for increasing the valence of CBD in clustered cellulases. A new design is proposed for artificial cellulosomes with multiple CBDs on noncellulosome-derived scaffold structures.
