Abstract
Peroxidases, like horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are heme metalloenzymes that are powerful biocatalysts for various oxidation reactions. By using simple grafting-from approach, ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and manganese porphyrins, star-shaped polypeptides analogues of HRP capable of catalyzing oxidation reactions with H2O2 is successfully prepared. Like their protein model, these simplified analogues show interesting Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) in the mM range for the oxidant. Interestingly, the polymer structures are more resistant to denaturation (heat, proteolysis and oxidant concentration) than HRP, opening up interesting prospects for their use in catalysis or in biosensing devices.

Abstract
Self-assembly of block copolymers has recently drawn great attention due to its remarkable performance and wide variety of applications in biomedicine, biomaterials, microelectronics, photoelectric materials, catalysts, etc. Poly(amino acid)s (PAAs), formed by introducing synthetic amino acids into copolymer backbones, are able to fold into different secondary conformations when compared with traditional amphiphilic copolymers. Apart from changing the chemical composition and degree of polymerization of copolymers, the self-assembly behaviors of PAAs could be controlled by their secondary conformations, which are more flexible and adjustable for fine structure tailoring. In this article, we summarize the latest findings on the variables that influence secondary conformations, in particular the regulation of order-to-order conformational changes and the approaches used to manage the self-assembly behaviors of PAAs. These strategies include controlling pH, redox reactions, coordination, light, temperature, and so on. Hopefully, we can provide valuable perspectives that will be useful for the future development and use of synthetic PAAs.

Abstract
Within this study, an amphiphilic and potentially biodegradable polypeptide library based on poly[(4-aminobutyl)-l-glutamine-stat-hexyl-l-glutamine] [P(AB-l-Gln-stat-Hex-l-Gln)] was investigated for gene delivery. The influence of varying proportions of aliphatic and cationic side chains affecting the physicochemical properties of the polypeptides on transfection efficiency was investigated. A composition of 40 mol% Hex-l-Gln and 60 mol % AB-l-Gln (P3) was identified as best performer over polypeptides with higher proportions of protonatable monomers. Detailed studies of the transfection mechanism revealed the strongest interaction of P3 with cell membranes, promoting efficient endocytic cell uptake and high endosomal release. Spectrally, time-, and z-resolved fluorescence microscopy further revealed the crucial role of filopodia surfing in polyplex-cell interaction and particle internalization in lamellipodia regions, followed by rapid particle transport into cells. This study demonstrates the great potential of polypeptides for gene delivery. The amphiphilic character improves performance over cationic homopolypeptides, and the potential biodegradability is advantageous toward other synthetic polymeric delivery systems.

Abstract
PEGylation has been widely applied to prolong the circulation times of nanomedicines via the steric shielding effect, which consequently improves the intratumoral accumulation. However, cell uptake of PEGylated nanoformulations is always blocked by the steric repulsion of PEG, which limits their therapeutic effect. To this end, we designed and prepared two kinds of poly(l-glutamic acid)-cisplatin (PLG-CDDP) nanoformulations with detachable PEG, which is responsive to specific tumor tissue microenvironments for prolonged circulation time and enhanced cell internalization. The extracellular pH (pHe)-responsive cleavage 2-propionic-3-methylmaleic anhydride (CDM)-derived amide bond and matrix metalloproteinases-2/9 (MMP-2/9)-sensitive degradable peptide PLGLAG were utilized to link PLG and PEG, yielding pHe-responsive PEG-pH e-PLG and MMP-sensitive PEG-MMP-PLG. The corresponding smart nanoformulations PEG-pH e-PLG-Pt and PEG-MMP-PLG-Pt were then prepared by the complexation of polypeptides and cisplatin (CDDP). The circulation half-lives of PEG-pH e-PLG-Pt and PEG-MMP-PLG-Pt were about 4.6 and 4.2 times higher than that of the control PLG-Pt, respectively. Upon reaching tumor tissue, PEG on the surface of nanomedicines was detached as triggered by pHe or MMP, which increased intratumoral CDDP retention, enhanced cell uptake, and improved antitumor efficacy toward a fatal high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) mouse model, indicating the promising prospects for clinical application of detachable PEGylated nanoformulations.

Abstract
Detection of heavy metal ions in water is important for environmental sustainability and food safety. Current fluorescent sensors interact with metal ions directly through chelation or chemical reactions. Those sensors are expensive to produce and often can detect only one ion at a time. Here we report a fluorescent turn-on sensor that can detect three group IIB metal ions and Pb2+ ions through label-free polypeptides in water. In our sensor-polypeptide mixture, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ ions induce helix formation and inter-chain aggregation in poly-L-α-glutamic acid (PGA). The acridinium-based sensor molecules incorporate into the polypeptides and emit strongly with characteristic color for each group IIB ion under UV lamp. By adjusting the size of polypeptides or the length of the side chain carboxyl groups, we can selectively turn off or turn on the sensor emission for Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polypeptides have practical applications in devices and therapeutic delivery. Here we report that coordination to Cd2+ metal species can be used as a robust stimulus to control both, α-helix and β-sheet secondary structuring of polypeptide polymers.

Confinement Effects on Polymer Dynamics: Thermo-Responsive Behaviours of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Polymers in Phospholipid-Coated Droplets (Water-in-Oil Emulsion). Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9120680. [PMID: 30965979 PMCID: PMC6418704 DOI: 10.3390/polym9120680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2017] [Revised: 11/25/2017] [Accepted: 12/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In order to construct the artificial cells and to understand the physicochemical properties of living cells, it is important to clarify the cell-sized confinement effect on the behaviours of bio-inspired polymers. We report the dynamic behaviours of aqueous hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) solution coated with phospholipids in oil (water-in-oil droplets, W/O droplets), accompanied by an increase in the temperature. We directly observed the beginning of phase separation of HPC solution using a fluorescence microscope and confirmed the dependence of such phenomena on droplet size. The results indicate that the start time of phase separation is decreased with an increase in droplet size. The experimental results suggest that the confinement situation accelerates the phase separation of aqueous HPC solutions.

Smart Poly(imidazoyl-l-lysine): Synthesis and Reversible Helix-to-Coil Transition at Neutral pH. Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9070276.

Abstract
Polypeptide polymers can adopt natural protein secondary structures such as α-helices or β-sheets, and this unique feature is at the origin of some intriguing physico–chemical properties. In this work, we present how side chain imidazoylation of a poly(l-lysine) scaffold affords the preparation of poly(histidine) counterparts exhibiting α-helix conformation. This structuring behavior is reversible and can be controlled by means of pH and or temperature changes.
