Abstract
Biomimetic science has attracted great interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, materials science, and energy. Biomimetic mineralization is the process of synthesizing inorganic minerals under the control of organic molecules or biomolecules under mild conditions. Peptides are the motifs that constitute proteins, and can self-assemble into various hierarchical structures and show a high affinity for inorganic substances. Therefore, peptides can be used as building blocks for the synthesis of functional biomimetic materials. With the participation of peptides, the morphology, size, and composition of mineralized materials can be controlled precisely. Peptides not only provide well-defined templates for the nucleation and growth of inorganic nanomaterials but also have the potential to confer inorganic nanomaterials with high catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and biotherapeutic functions. In this review, we systematically summarize research progress in the formation mechanism, nanostructural manipulation, and applications of peptide-templated mineralized materials. These can further inspire researchers to design structurally complex and functionalized biomimetic materials with great promising applications.

Abstract
A simple cluster-ligand interaction model is introduced to describe the surface passivation of bimetallic gold clusters by SUP (Thioureidopeptide) and SeUP (Selenoureidopeptide) ligands. The conformational search based on neutral peptide binding modes and their computed interaction energies show the existence of various structural isomers within 10 kcal mol-1. Further, the negatively charged deprotonated peptide was found to strongly interact with metal cluster through the carboxylate unit. Irrespective of the mode of binding and configuration the metal cluster found to exist in parent geometry in all three charge states. The calculated HOMO-LUMO gap of ligated clusters predicts an increase in chemical stability after the ligation. Moreover, the ligation was found to decrease the energy required for oxidation and reduction. The excited-state calculations indicate absorption maxima at 200-400 nm corresponds to the LMCT transition. In all the hybrid cluster models the donor and acceptor end of the peptide were found to remain intact. However, the charge migration dynamics observed only in the homo-metallic gold-ligand hybrids, owing to the larger charge separation.

Abstract
Conventional antiangiogenetic inhibitors suffered from poor delivery problems that result in unsatisfactory antitumor treatment efficacy. Although the liposomes or nanomaterial-based delivery systems can improve the therapeutic efficacy of antiangiogenic molecules, the assembly process is far too complex. Herein, a nanomaterial or a new nanodrug that could work without the help of a carrier and could be easily synthesized is needed. Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) are a kind of ideal nanostructures that could spontaneously enter into the cell and could be synthesized by a relatively easy one-pot method. Here, changing the traditional ligand glutathione (GSH) into an anti-Flt1 peptide (AF) has enriched the newly synthesized AF@AuNCs with targeted antiangiogenic properties. Based on the specific binding between AF and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1), the interaction between VEGFR1 and its ligands could be blocked. Furthermore, the expression of VEGFR2 could be downregulated. Compared with pure AF peptide- and GSH-participated AuNCs (GSH@AuNCs), AF@AuNCs were more effective in inhibiting both tube formation and migration of the endothelial cells in vitro. Furthermore, the in vivo chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) experiment and antitumor experiment were conducted to further verify the enhanced antiangiogenesis and tumor inhibition effect of AF@AuNCs. Our findings provide promising evidence of a carrier-free nanodrug for tumors and other vascular hyperproliferative diseases.

Abstract
As typical glucose oxidase nanozymes, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted much attention due to their wide-ranging applications. Ligand caps, as the "cure-all solution" for NPs, not only play important roles in the size and shape control of Au NPs but also influence their catalytic activity and selectivity. A deep understanding of the catalytic mechanism and precise description of the important role of ligands can provide possible ways to design functional Au NPs. Here, with the specific example of Au(111) capped with chiral phenylalanine (Phe), the chiral selective oxidation mechanism of glucose and the important role of the ligands were studied via first-principles calculations. All results show that the dehydrogenation of glucose to form glucono delta-lactone (GDL) is favored on clean Au(111), while the subsequent hydrolysis of GDL is the rate-limiting step for glucose oxidation. The flat and nonchiral Au(111) surface shows negligible selectivity in relation to the oxidation of d- and l-glucose, while chiral Phe-Au(111) shows selective adsorption towards d- and l-glucose. l-Phe-capped Au(111) prefers to adsorb d-glucose, while d-Phe-capped Au(111) prefers to adsorb l-glucose. Considering the three steps in the capped ligand catalysis (adsorption, replacement and reaction), we propose that the ligands play key roles in selectively adsorbing reactants before the subsequent exchange and reaction steps.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was selected as template for the synthesis of AuNPs@gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) core/shell nanoparticles, in which BSA not only acted as dual functions agent for both anchoring and reducing Au3+ ions, but also was employed as a bridge between the AuNPs and AuNCs. Optical properties of AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles were studied using UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The prepared AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles exhibited sphere size uniformity with improved monodispersity, excellent fluorescence and fluorescent stability. Compared with AuNCs, AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles possessed large size and strong fluorescence intensity due to the effect of AuNPs as core. Moreover, the mechanism of the AuNPs induced fluorescence changes of the core/shell nanoparticles was first explored.

Abstract
Bridging the gap between atoms and nanoparticles, noble metal clusters with atomic precision continue to attract considerable attention due to their important applications in catalysis, energy transformation, biosensing and biomedicine. Greatly different to common chemical synthesis, a one-step biomimetic synthesis of peptide-conjugated metal clusters has been developed to meet the demand of emerging bioapplications. Under mild conditions, multifunctional peptides containing metal capturing, reactive and targeting groups are rationally designed and elaborately synthesized to fabricate atomically precise peptide protected metal clusters. Among them, peptide-protected Au Cs (peptide-Au Cs) possess a great deal of exceptional advantages such as nanometer dimensions, high photostability, good biocompatibility, accurate chemical formula and specific protein targeting capacity. In this review article, we focus on the recent advances in potential theranostic fields by introducing the rising progress of peptide-Au Cs for biological imaging, biological analysis and therapeutic applications. The interactions between Au Cs and biological systems as well as potential mechanisms are also our concerned theme. We expect that the rapidly growing interest in Au Cs-based theranostic applications will attract broader concerns across various disciplines.
