Abstract
The strategy of combining biomolecules and synthetic components to develop biohybrids is becoming increasingly popular for preparing highly customized and biocompatible functional materials. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) benefit from bioconjugation, allowing their excellent properties to be applied to biomedical applications. This study reviews the state-of-the-art research in biomolecule-CNT conjugates and discusses strategies for their self-assembly into hierarchical structures. The review focuses on various highly ordered structures and the interesting properties resulting from the structural order. Hence, CNTs conjugated with the most relevant biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, saccharides, and lipids are discussed. The resulting well-defined composites allow the nanoscale properties of the CNTs to be exploited at the micro- and macroscale, with potential applications in tissue engineering, sensors, and wearable electronics. This review presents the underlying chemistry behind the CNT-based biohybrid materials and discusses the future directions of the field.

Abstract
We achieved tubulation of self-assembled lipid membranes, liposomes, via the interaction of supramolecular nanofibers, porphyrin J-aggregates. This structural change was reversible, and the deformation of the porphyrin J-aggregates caused reconstruction of the liposomes from the tubes. We discussed the tubulation mechanism and calculated the force provided by porphyrin J-aggregates for tubulation.

Abstract
Structural control of lipid membranes is important for mechanisms underlying biological functions and for creating high-functionality soft materials. We demonstrate the reversible control of vesicle structures (liposomes) using supramolecular assemblies. Specifically, water-soluble anionic porphyrin molecules interact with positively charged lipid membrane surfaces to form one-dimensional self-assembled structures (J-aggregates) under acidic conditions. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy revealed that porphyrin J-aggregates on the membrane surface induced an extensive structural change from vesicles to layered disks. Neutralization of the solution deformed the porphyrin J-aggregates, thereby reforming nanosized liposomes from the layered disks.

Abstract
Control of higher-order polymer structures attracts a great deal of interest for many researchers when they lead to the development of materials having various advanced functions. Among them, conjugated polymers that are useful as starting materials in the design of molecular wires are particularly attractive. However, an equilibrium existing between isolated chains and bundled aggregates is inevitable and has made their physical properties very complicated. As an attempt to simplify this situation, we previously reported that a polymer chain of a water-soluble polythiophene could be isolated through complexation with a helix-forming polysaccharide. More recently, a covalently self-threading polythiophene was reported, the main chain of which was physically protected from self-folding and chain-chain π-stacking. In this report, we wish to report a new strategy to isolate a water-soluble polythiophene and to control its higher-order structure by a supramolecular approach: that is, among a few bile acids, lithocholate can form stoichiometric complexes with cationic polythiophene to isolate the polymer chain, and the higher-order structure is changeable by the molar ratio. The optical and morphological studies have been thoroughly performed, and the resultant complex has been applied to the selective recognition of two AMP structural isomers.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and nonhelical polymers from the viewpoints of their formations with unique chiral phenomena, such as amplification of chirality during the dynamic helically assembled processes, properties, and specific functionalities, some of which have not been observed in or achieved by biological systems. In addition, a brief historical overview of the helical assemblies of small molecules and remarkable progress in the synthesis of single-stranded and multistranded helical foldamers and polymers, their properties, structures, and functions, mainly since 2009, will also be described.

Abstract
The J aggregates of 4-sulfonatophenyl meso-substituted porphyrins are non-covalent polymers obtained by self-assembly that form nanoparticles of different morphologies. In the case of high aspect-ratio nanoparticles (bilayered ribbons and monolayered nanotubes), shear hydrodynamic forces may modify their shape and size, as observed by peak force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy of frozen solutions, small-angle X-ray scattering measurements in a disk-plate rotational cell, and cone-plate rotational viscometry. These nanoparticles either show elastic or plastic behaviour: there is plasticity in the ribbons obtained upon nanotube collapse on solid/air interfaces and in viscous concentrated nanotube solutions, whereas elasticity occurs in the case of dilute nanotube solutions. Sonication and strong shear hydrodynamic forces lead to the breaking of the monolayered nanotubes into small particles, which then associate into large colloidal particles.

Abstract
We have exploited novel supramolecular wrapping techniques by helix-forming polysaccharides, β-1,3-glucans, which have strong tendency to form regular helical structures on versatile nanomaterials in an induced-fit manner. This approach is totally different from that using the conventional interpolymer interactions seen in both natural and synthetic polymeric architectures, and therefore has potential to create novel polymeric architectures with diverse and unexpected functionalities. The wrapping by β-1,3-glucans enforces the entrapped guest polymer to adopt helical or twisted conformations through the convergent interpolymer interactions. On the contrary, the wrapping by chemically modified semi-artificial β-1,3-glucans can bestow the divergent self-assembling abilities on the entrapped guest polymer to create hierarchical polymeric architectures, where the polymer/β-1,3-glucan composite acts as a huge one-dimensional building block. Based on the established wrapping strategy, we have further extended the wrapping techniques toward the creation of three-dimensional polymeric architectures, in which the polymer/β-1,3-glucan composite behaves as a sort of amphiphilic block copolymers. The present wrapping system would open several paths to accelerate the development of the polymeric supramolecular assembly systems, giving the strong stimuli to the frontier of polysaccharide-based functional chemistry.
