Bioelectrochemically triggered apoferritin-based bionanoreactors: synthesis of CdSe nanoparticles and monitoring with leaky waveguides. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:516-523.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a novel method for producing cadmium-selenide nanoparticles (CdSe NPs) with controlled size using apoferritin as a bionanoreactor triggered by local pH change at the electrode/solution interface. Apoferritin is known for its reversible self-assembly at alkaline pH. The pH change is induced electrochemically by reducing O2 through the application of sufficiently negative voltages and bioelectrochemically through O2 reduction catalyzed by laccase, co-immobilized with apoferritin on the electrode surface. Specifically, a Ti electrode is modified with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, followed by glutaraldehyde cross-linking (1.5% v/v in H2O) of apoferritin (as the bionanoreactor) and laccase (as the local pH change triggering system). This proposed platform offers a universal approach for controlling the synthesis of semiconductor NPs within a bionanoreactor solely driven by (bio)electrochemical inputs. The CdSe NPs obtained through different synthetic approaches, namely electrochemical and bioelectrochemical, were characterized spectroscopically (UV-Vis, Raman, XRD) and morphologically (TEM). Finally, we conducted online monitoring of CdSe NPs formation within the apoferritin core by integrating the electrochemical system with LWs. The quantity of CdSe NPs produced through bioelectrochemical means was determined to be 2.08 ± 0.12 mg after 90 minutes of voltage application in the presence of O2. TEM measurements revealed that the bioelectrochemically synthesized CdSe NPs have a diameter of 4 ± 1 nm, accounting for 85% of the size distribution, a result corroborated by XRD data. Further research is needed to explore the synthesis of nanoparticles using different biological nanoreactors, as the process can be challenging due to the elevated buffer capacitance of biological media.

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
Nanocrystals offer a unique platform for tailoring the physicochemical properties of solid materials to enhance their performances in various applications. While most work on controlling their shapes revolves around symmetrical growth, the introduction of asymmetrical growth and thus symmetry breaking has also emerged as a powerful route to enrich metal nanocrystals with new shapes and complex morphologies as well as unprecedented properties and functionalities. The success of this route critically relies on our ability to lift the confinement on symmetry by the underlying unit cell of the crystal structure and/or the initial seed in a systematic manner. This Review aims to provide an account of recent progress in understanding and controlling asymmetrical growth and symmetry breaking in a colloidal synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals. With a touch on both the nucleation and growth steps, we discuss a number of methods capable of generating seeds with diverse symmetry while achieving asymmetrical growth for mono-, bi-, and multimetallic systems. We then showcase a variety of symmetry-broken nanocrystals that have been reported, together with insights into their growth mechanisms. We also highlight their properties and applications and conclude with perspectives on future directions in developing this class of nanomaterials. It is hoped that the concepts and existing challenges outlined in this Review will drive further research into understanding and controlling the symmetry breaking process.

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
Shape-controlled colloidal nanocrystal syntheses often require facet-selective solution-phase chemical additives to regulate surface free energy, atom addition/migration fluxes, or particle attachment rates. Because of their highly tunable properties and robustness to a wide range of experimental conditions, peptoids represent a very promising class of next-generation functional additives for control over nanocrystal growth. However, understanding the origin of facet selectivity at the molecular level is critical to generalizing their design. Herein we employ molecular dynamics simulations and biased sampling methods and report stronger selectivity to Au(111) than to Au(100) for Nce3Ncp6, a peptoid that has been shown to assist the formation of 5-fold twinned Au nanostars. We find that facet selectivity is achieved through synergistic effects of both peptoid-surface and solvent-surface interactions. Moreover, the amphiphilic nature of Nce3Ncp6 together with the order of peptoid-peptoid and peptoid-surface binding energies, that is, peptoid-Au(100) < peptoid-peptoid < peptoid-Au(111), further amplifies its distinct collective behavior on different Au surfaces. Our studies provide a fundamental understanding of the molecular origin of facet-selective adsorption and highlight the possibility of future designs and uses of sequence-defined peptoids for predictive syntheses of nanocrystals with designed shapes and properties.

Abstract
The essence of bionanotechnology lies in the application of nanotechnology/nanomaterials to solve the biological problems. Quantum dots and nanoparticles hold potential biomedical applications, but their inherent problems such as low solubility and associated toxicity due to their interactions at nonspecific target sites is a major concern. The self-assembled, thermostable, ferritin protein nanocages possessing natural iron scavenging ability have emerged as a potential solution to all the above-mentioned problems by acting as nanoreactor and nanocarrier. Ferritins, the cellular iron repositories, are hollow, spherical, symmetric multimeric protein nanocages, which sequester the excess of free Fe(II) and synthesize iron biominerals (Fe2O3·H2O) inside their ∼5-8 nm central cavity. The electrostatics and dynamics of the pore residues not only drives the natural substrate Fe2+ inside ferritin nanocages but also uptakes a set of other metals ions/counterions during in vitro synthesis of nanomaterial. The current review aims to report the recent developments/understanding on ferritin structure (self-assembly, surface/pores electrostatics, metal ion binding sites) and chemistry occurring inside these supramolecular protein cages (protein mediated metal ion uptake and mineralization/nanoparticle formation) along with its surface modification to exploit them for various nanobiotechnological applications. Furthermore, a better understanding of ferritin self-assembly would be highly useful for optimizing the incorporation of nanomaterials via the disassembly/reassembly approach. Several studies have reported the successful engineering of these ferritin protein nanocages in order to utilize them as potential nanoreactor for synthesizing/incorporating nanoparticles and as nanocarrier for delivering imaging agents/drugs at cell specific target sites. Therefore, the combination of nanoscience (nanomaterials) and bioscience (ferritin protein) projects several benefits for various applications ranging from electronics to medicine.

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
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
In recent years, it has been found that Cu2+, Fe3+, and amino acids play an irreplaceable and subtle role in organisms and have attracted the considerable attention of many researchers. Therefore, it is vital to design visual indicators to reveal the relationships between metal ions and amino acids. However, there have been few reports on this vigorous subject. Fortunately, based on the different coordination effects between metal ions and boron groups, we have designed an accessible fluorescent probe (PSI-A). Borane was introduced as an ion-sensitive group to form a novel POSS-based fluorescent probe, which achieves fascinating performance, in situ dynamic multiple detection, excellent photostability, and enervative biological toxicity. PSI-A exhibited predominant selectivity and sensitivity to Cu2+/amino acids and Fe3+/amino acids sequence reactions in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. The fluorescence of PSI-A was quenched by Cu2+, which can be recovered by adding Asp, Ser, Arg, Ace or Trp. Additionally, the fluorescence of PSI-A quenched by Fe3+ can be restored after adding Asp. PSI-A is available to monitor Cu2+/amino acids and Fe3+/amino acids sequence reactions and can be repeated for at least three consecutive cycles without a fatigued performance. Therefore, this multifunctional fluorescent probe may have prospective application potentials in the biological field.

Abstract
The high proliferation efficiency, redox imbalance, and elevated nucleic acid repair capabilities of tumor cells severely restrict the theranostic efficacy. Selectively interference chaotic tumors with devastating nucleic acid damages (NUDs) properties are expected to overcome theranostic barriers. Here, an exquisite catalytic-based strategy with comprehensive NUDs mechanisms is demonstrated. In this regard, enzyme (glucose oxidase, GOD) symbioses nanozyme Cu3+x (PO4 )2 through biomineralization (abbreviated as Cu@GOD), GOD can disorder the metabolism by consuming glucose, thereby inhibiting the nutrition supply for nucleic acid repair. GOD-catalyzed H2 O2 guarantees the self-cyclic glutathione depletion and reactive oxygen species generation caused by Cu3+x (PO4 )2 , resulted the reduced antioxidation defense and enhanced oxidation assault, ensures an indiscriminate NUDs ability. Moreover, the high photothermal effect of Cu3+x (PO4 )2 induces effective tumor inhibition. Consequently, this substantial multipath NUDs strategy, with potentials of suppressing the cytoprotective mechanisms, amplifying the cellular oxidative stress, and disrupting the redox balance to ensure substantial irreversible NUDs, completely breaks the obstacle of chaotic tumors, providing new conceptual thinking for tumor proliferation inhibition.

Abstract
Many substances in nature show radiated topological structure and possess excellent bio-adhesion ability. Herein, regulating the topological structure of Zn2 GeO4 :Mn persistent phosphors is achieved with a molecular coordination method. The morphology of the Zn2 GeO4 :Mn phosphors is well-tuned from nanorods to radiated dendrites by changing the coordination capability of the surface ligand. Due to the structural matching and multivalent interactions, Zn2 GeO4 :Mn radiated dendrites show strong adhesion affinity toward organisms. Moreover, the porous radiated structure offers Zn2 GeO4 :Mn with a large surface area for photocatalysis. Efficient bacterial adhesion and good long persistent photocatalysis activity are observed in the Zn2 GeO4 :Mn radiated dendrites, which endows Zn2 GeO4 :Mn with persistent antibacterial activity even in the dark. Further, the Zn2 GeO4 :Mn spike flowers loaded fabrics exhibit potent persistent antibacterial properties. Mask and towel fabricated with the antibacterial fabrics can inhibit bacterial growth effectively and no bacteria are observed to pass through the antibacterial mask, suggesting that antibacterial mask can guarantee our health and can be utilized repeatedly. The developed Zn2 GeO4 :Mn dendrites possess ideal ability in long-term bacterial inhibition, making them valuable in the fields of medical protection and food packaging.

Abstract
The field of single nanoparticle plasmonics has grown enormously. There is no doubt that a wide diversity of the nanoplasmonic techniques and nanostructures represents a tremendous opportunity for fundamental biomedical studies as well as sensing and imaging applications. Single nanoparticle plasmonic biosensors are efficient in label-free single-molecule detection, as well as in monitoring real-time binding events of even several biomolecules. In the present review, we have discussed the prominent advantages and advances in single particle characterization and synthesis as well as new insight into and information on biomedical diagnosis uniquely obtained using single particle approaches. The approaches include the fundamental studies of nanoplasmonic behavior, two typical methods based on refractive index change and characteristic light intensity change, exciting innovations of synthetic strategies for new plasmonic nanostructures, and practical applications using single particle sensing, imaging, and tracking. The basic sphere and rod nanostructures are the focus of extensive investigations in biomedicine, while they can be programmed into algorithmic assemblies for novel plasmonic diagnosis. Design of single nanoparticles for the detection of single biomolecules will have far-reaching consequences in biomedical diagnosis.

Abstract
The predictive synthesis of metal nanocrystals with desired structures relies on the precise control of the crystal formation process. Using a capping ligand is an effective method to affect the reduction of metal ions and the formation of nanocrystals. However, predictively synthesizing nanostructures has been difficult to achieve using conventional capping ligands. DNA, as a class of the promising biomolecular capping ligands, has been used to generate sequence-specific morphologies in various metal nanocrystals. However, mechanistic insight into the DNA-mediated nanocrystal formation remains elusive due to the lack of quantitative experimental evidence. Herein, we quantitatively analyzed the precise control of DNA over Ag+ reduction and the structures of resulting Au-Ag core-shell nanocrystals. We derived the equilibrium binding constants between DNA and Ag+, the kinetic rate constants of sequence-specific Ag+ reduction pathways, and the percentage of active surface sites remaining on the nanocrystals after DNA passivation. These three synergistic factors influence the nucleation and growth process both thermodynamically and kinetically, which contributed to the morphological evolution of Au-Ag nanocrystals synthesized with different DNA sequences. This study demonstrates the potential of using functional DNA sequences as a versatile and tunable capping ligand system for the predictable synthesis of metal nanostructures.

Abstract
AuBP1, obtained by phage display selection, was previously shown to produce gold nanoparticles without reducing agents. The tryptophan (Trp) residue located at the N-terminus of this peptide contributes to the reduction of Au3+ to Au0 and is involved in the nucleation and crystal growth of gold nanoparticles. However, clear guidelines for relationships between the number of Trp residues in the peptide and its gold reducing ability have not been established. We focused on gold mineralization and attempted to elucidate aspects of the underlying mechanism. We performed a detailed evaluation of the effects of modifying the N-terminus of the core sequence on gold mineralization without reducing agents. Besides, advantages of utilizing peptides in manufacturing gold nanoparticles are shown. UV-Vis measurements, TEM observations, and kinetic analyses were used to show that increasing the number of Trp residues in the peptide increases the reducing ability, causing predominance of the nucleation reaction and the production of small gold nanoparticles. In addition, these peptides also had the ability as a dispersant to protect the surface of gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of mineralized gold nanoparticles with peptides was higher than that of a commercial gold nanoparticle. This study should help to elucidate the relationship between peptide sequence and mineralization ability for use in materials chemistry. Increasing the number of tryptophan (Trp) in peptides led to higher gold reducing ability and the peptides could disperse the generated gold-nanoparticles.![]()

Abstract
Ag2S quantum dots have received extensive attention as theranostic agents for second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-mode imaging, and photothermal therapy. However, it is still greatly challenging to synthesize Ag2S quantum dots using aqueous synthesis. In this study, genetically engineered polypeptide-capped Ag2S quantum dots were successfully synthesized. Three cysteines were integrated to the C-terminal and N-terminal of RGDPC10A to enhance the stability and brightness of the synthesized Ag2S quantum dots. The RGDPC10A-capped Ag2S quantum dots exhibited excellent stability, outstanding resistance to photobleaching, and a superior quantum yield of up to 3.78% in the NIR-II biological window. The in vitro and in vivo results showed that the RGDPC10A-capped Ag2S quantum dots possessed typical NIR-II fluorescence, photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal therapeutic effectiveness against tumors. Moreover, the results of toxicity assays suggested that the RGDPC10A-capped Ag2S quantum dots have negligible long-term toxicity. These findings open up the possibility for synthesizing theranostic agents by using this aqueous method.

Abstract
Consensus ranking of protein affinity to identify point mutations has not been established. Therefore, analytical techniques that can detect subtle variations without interfering with native biomolecular interactions are required. Here we report a rapid method to identify point mutations by a single nanoparticle sensing system. DNA-directed gold crystallization forms rod-like nanoparticles with bridges based on structural design. The nanoparticles enhance Rayleigh light scattering, achieving high refractive-index sensitivity, and enable the system to monitor even a small number of protein-DNA binding events without interference. Analysis of the binding affinity can compile an atlas to distinguish the potential of various point mutations recognized by MutS protein. We use the atlas to analyze the presence and type of single point mutations in BRCA1 from samples of human breast and ovarian cancer cell lines. The strategy of synthesis-by-design of plasmonic nanoparticles for sensors enables direct identification of subtle biomolecular binding distortions and genetic alterations.

Abstract
Controlling morphologies of nanomaterials such as their shapes and surface features has been a major endeavor in the field of nanoscale science and engineering, because the morphology is a major determining factor for functional properties of nanomaterials. Compared with conventional capping ligands based on organic molecules or polymers, the programmability of biomolecules makes them attractive alternatives for morphology-controlled nanomaterials synthesis. Towards the goal of predictable control of the synthesis, many studies have been performed on using different sequences of biomolecules to generate specific nanomaterial morphology. In this review, we summarize recent studies in the past few years on using DNA and peptide sequences to control inorganic nanomaterial morphologies, focusing on both case studies and mechanistic investigations. The functional properties resulting from such a sequence-specific control are also discussed, along with strengths and limitations of different approaches to achieving the goal.

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.

Controlled synthesis of highly-branched plasmonic gold nanoparticles through peptoid engineering. Nat Commun 2018; 9:2327.

Abstract
In nature, specific biomolecules interacting with mineral precursors are responsible for the precise production of nanostructured inorganic materials that exhibit complex morphologies and superior performance. Despite advances in developing biomimetic approaches, the design rules for creating sequence-defined molecules that lead to the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials with predictable complex morphologies are unknown. Herein we report the design of sequence-defined peptoids for controlled synthesis of highly branched plasmonic gold particles. By engineering peptoid sequences and investigating the resulting particle formation mechanisms, we develop a rule of thumb for designing peptoids that predictively enabled the morphological evolution from spherical to coral-shaped nanoparticles. Through a combination of hyperspectral UV-Vis extinction microscopy and three-photon photoemission electron microscopy, we demonstrate that the individual coral-shaped gold nanoparticles exhibit a plasmonic enhancement as high as 105-fold. This research significantly advances our ultimate vision of predictive bio-inspired materials synthesis using sequence-defined synthetic molecules that mimic proteins and peptides. Peptoids are promising crystallization agents, as they offer the molecular recognition capabilities of proteins and peptides but with higher stability and synthetic tunability. Here, the authors show that sequence-defined peptoids can controllably template the formation and shape evolution of gold nanostructures with defined morphologies.

Abstract
The sizes, shapes, and surface characteristics of nanomaterials determine their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is one of the unique optical properties of noble-metal nanoparticles. The synthesis of nanomaterials using biomolecules as templates offers an excellent strategy to control and regulate their features. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate a green synthesis approach of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using nucleotide-based assemblies as templates. Moreover, we investigate the influence of different nucleotide-based assemblies and metal ions on the preparation of AgNPs, implying that AgNPs with different LSPR absorptions originating from their surrounding and size could be synthesized. The synthetic route is green, energy-effective, and feasible. On the basis of the unique LSPR-controlled property, the AgNP composites were applied for cryptography, biothiol detection, and designing logic gates. This work offers a promising method for the synthesis of nanomaterials with multiapplications.

Abstract
The incorporation of biomolecules into nanomaterials generates functional nanosystems with novel and advanced properties, presenting great potential for applications in various fields. Nucleobases, nucleosides and nucleotides, as building blocks of nucleic acids and biological coenzymes, constitute necessary components of the foundation of life. In recent years, as versatile biomolecules for the construction or regulation of functional nanomaterials, they have stimulated interest in researchers, due to their unique properties such as structural diversity, multiplex binding sites, self-assembly ability, stability, biocompatibility, and chirality. In this review, strategies for the synthesis of nanomaterials and the regulation of their morphologies and functions using nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides as building blocks, templates or modulators are summarized alongside selected applications. The diverse applications range from sensing, bioimaging, and drug delivery to mimicking light-harvesting antenna, the construction of logic gates, and beyond. Furthermore, some perspectives and challenges in this emerging field are proposed. This review is directed toward the broader scientific community interested in biomolecule-based functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Discovering or designing biofunctionalized materials with improved quality highly depends on the ability to manipulate and control the peptide-inorganic interaction. Various peptides can be used as assemblers, synthesizers, and linkers in the material syntheses. In another context, specific and selective material-binding peptides can be used as recognition blocks in mining applications. In this study, we propose a new in silico method to select short 4-mer peptides with high affinity and selectivity for a given target material. This method is illustrated with the calcite (104) surface as an example, which has been experimentally validated. A calcite binding peptide can play an important role in our understanding of biomineralization. A practical aspect of calcite is a need for it to be selectively depressed in mining sites.

Abstract
The quantities of organic waste produced globally by aquacultural and horticulture are extremely large and offer an attractive renewable source of biomolecules and bioactive compounds. The availability of such large and diverse sources of waste materials creates a unique opportunity to develop new recycling and food waste utilisation strategies. The aim of this review is to report the current status of research in the emerging field of producing high-value nanoparticles from food waste. Eco-friendly biogenic processes are quite rapid, and are usually carried out at normal room temperature and pressure. These alternative clean technologies do not rely on the use of the toxic chemicals and solvents commonly associated with traditional nanoparticle manufacturing processes. The relatively small number of research articles in the field have been surveyed and evaluated. Among the diversity of waste types, promising candidates and their ability to produce various high-value nanoparticles are discussed. Experimental parameters, nanoparticle characteristics and potential applications for nanoparticles in pharmaceuticals and biomedical applications are discussed. In spite of the advantages, there are a number of challenges, including nanoparticle reproducibility and understanding the formation mechanisms between different food waste products. Thus, there is considerable scope and opportunity for further research in this emerging field.

Abstract
Colloidal metal nanocrystals find many applications in catalysis, energy conversion devices, and therapeutics. However, the nature of ligand interactions and implications on shape control have remained uncertain at the atomic scale. Large differences in peptide adsorption strength and facet specificity were found on flat palladium surfaces versus surfaces of nanoparticles of 2 to 3 nm size using accurate atomistic simulations with the Interface force field. Folding of longer peptides across many facets explains the formation of near-spherical particles with local surface disorder, in contrast to the possibility of nanostructures of higher symmetry with shorter ligands. The average particle size in TEM correlates inversely with the surface coverage with a given ligand and with the strength of ligand adsorption. The role of specific amino acids and sequence mutations on the nanoparticle size and facet composition is discussed, as well as the origin of local surface disorder that leads to large differences in catalytic reactivity.

Abstract
Today there is a growing need to develop reliable, sustainable, and ecofriendly protocols for manufacturing a wide range of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles via nanobiotechnology based techniques has the potential to deliver clean manufacturing technologies. These new clean technologies can significantly reduce environmental contamination and decease the hazards to human health resulting from the use of toxic chemicals and solvents currently used in conventional industrial fabrication processes. The largely unexplored marine environment that covers approximately 70% of the earth’s surface is home to many naturally occurring and renewable marine plants. The present review summarizes current research into the biogenic synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles via marine algae (commonly known as seaweeds) and seagrasses. Both groups of marine plants contain a wide variety of biologically active compounds and secondary metabolites that enables these plants to act as biological factories for the manufacture of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanotechnology can be a valuable ally in the treatment of infections. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are structures that have antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to produce AgNPs by green methods, characterize these structures, and assess their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli associated with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. AgNPs were characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by the disk diffusion method against 10 strains of E. coli. The synthesized AgNPs showed a spherical shape and a size of 85.07 ± 12.86 nm (mean ± SD). AgNPs increased the activity of ciprofloxacin by 40% and may represent a new therapeutic option for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Precise control over the structure of metal nanomaterials is important for developing advanced nanobiotechnology. Assembly methods of nanoparticles into structured blocks have been widely demonstrated recently. However, synthesis of nanocrystals with controlled, three-dimensional structures remains challenging. Here we show a directed crystallization of gold by a single DNA molecular regulator in a sequence-independent manner and its applications in three-dimensional topological controls of crystalline nanostructures. We anchor DNA onto gold nanoseed with various alignments to form gold nanocrystals with defined topologies. Some topologies are asymmetric including pushpin-, star- and biconcave disk-like structures, as well as more complex jellyfish- and flower-like structures. The approach of employing DNA enables the solution-based synthesis of nanocrystals with controlled, three-dimensional structures in a desired direction, and expands the current tools available for designing and synthesizing feature-rich nanomaterials for future translational biotechnology. Bottom-up synthesis of colloidal metallic nanomaterials with a designable structure is challenging. Here, the authors report the directed crystallisation of gold by a single DNA molecular regulator, using it to synthesise gold nanocrystals with defined complex morphologies.

Abstract
Crystallographic surface-resolved examination of protein-ZnO interactions can greatly enhance the fundamental understanding of protein adsorption on these technologically important solid surfaces which, in turn, will be tremendously valuable for the emerging applications of ZnO-based biomaterials and biosensors. We examine experimentally and via computer simulations the intriguing differences in the adsorption preferences and binding behavior of whole immunoglobulin G (IgG) proteins to various, low-index ZnO crystal surfaces at the individual biomolecule level. By performing direct atomic force microscopy imaging, we determine that IgG predominantly binds to the ZnO plane of (101̅0) relative to the other three low-index planes of (0001), (0001̅), and (112̅0). This phenomenon is highly unusual, particularly considering the fact that the average binding energy of amino acids (AAs) on the ZnO (0001) facet is higher than that on the (101̅0) plane. In conjunction with combined Monte Carlo-molecular dynamics simulations, we further explain the possible origins of our unusual experimental findings with critical factors such as the specific spatial locations of strongly binding AAs in the protein and their spatial distributions on the exterior surface of the protein.

Abstract
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.
