Abstract
Stimuli-responsive smart supramolecular self-assembly with controllable morphology and adjustable rheological property has attracted widespread concern of scientists in recent years due to the great potential application in microfluidics, controlled release, biosensors and so on. In this study, a pH and UV light dual stimuli-responsive system was constructed by combining Gemini surfactant 2-hydroxyl-propanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecyl ammonium bromide) (12-3(OH)-12·2Br-) with trans-ortho-hydroxyl cinnamic acid (trans-OHCA) in aqueous solution. The phase behavior and stimuli-responsive behavior of the system including the microstructural transition, rheological property, intermolecular interaction, and isomerization reaction were explored by various experiment techniques such as rheometer, UV-vis spectrum, polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as theoretical calculation. The system displays abundant phase behaviors that supramolecular self-assemblies of different morphologies in different states such as spherical micelle, wormlike micelle, lamellar liquid crystal, and aqueous two phase system (ATPS) were observed even at lower concentration, which provide the research basis on the abundant stimuli-responsiveness of the system. The results prove that the multiple ionization and the photo-isomerization of trans-OHCA endow the system with plentiful responses to pH and UV light stimuli. It is expected that this study on the dual stimuli-responsive system with abundant self-assembly behaviors and adjustable rheological behaviors would be of theoretical and practical importance, which would provide essential guidance in designing and constructing smart materials with multiple stimuli-responses.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Novel photoresponsive hybrid surfactants, in which a combination of perfluoroalkyl and alkyl chains and cationic head groups are connected via azobenzene moieties, are excellent candidates for assembling low-molecular-weight organogels (LMOGs) with reversibly switchable viscoelasticities triggered by external stimuli. EXPERIMENTS The structure-composition-property relationships of gels assembled with the hybrid surfactants were investigated by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, and rheology. FINDINGS Hybrid surfactants containing perfluorohexyl chains with more than six carbons gelled in a variety of organic solvents at concentrations of less than a few percent. In particular, compositions with the perfluorooctyl and somewhat shorter hydrocarbon chains (C1-C4) gelled in both organic solvents and water. The gellable solvent species can be well grouped according to their solubility parameters, suggesting that gelation properties can be predicted from the chemical structure of the surfactant. Mechanical and structural investigations revealed that gel viscoelasticity can be reversibly altered by applying photo, shear, and heat stimuli, which is achieved through the formation and deformation of lamella-like molecular aggregates. The multi-responsive gelation and facile molecular design of the present hybrid surfactants will expand the fields in which fluorinated LMOGs can be applied.

Abstract
Four Ala-Ala dipeptides with a perfluoroalkyl chain at the N-terminal were synthesized. They were able to self-assemble into helical nanofibers and/or twisted nanobelts in a mixture of DMSO/H2 O. The handedness of nanofibers and nanobelts was controlled by the chirality of the alanine at the N-terminal. The stacking handedness of the phenylene groups and the helicity of the perfluoroalkyl chain were studied using circular dichroism spectroscopy and vibrational circular dichroism, respectively. The chirality of the alanine at N-terminal controlled the stacking handedness of the neighboring phenylene groups. Moreover, due to the low potential barrier between M- and P-helices of the perfluorocarbon chain, the handedness of the organic self-assemblies eventually controlled the helicity of the perfluorocarbon chain. X-ray diffraction indicated that a lamellar structure was formed by the dimers of the dipeptides.

Abstract
Chirality plays a central role in biomolecular recognition and pharmacological activity of drugs and can even lead to new functions such as spin filters. Although there have been significant advances in understanding and controlling the helical organization of enantiopure synthetic molecular systems, rationally dictating the assembly of mixtures of enantiomer (including racemates) is nontrivial. Here we demonstrate that a subtle change in molecular structure coupled with the understanding of assembly processes of enantiomers and racemates, in both dilute solution and concentrated gels, acts as a stepping stone to rationally control the organization in the solid-state. We have studied trans-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexanes as model systems with carboxamide, thioamide, and their combination as functional groups. On comparing the gelation propensity of individual enantiomers and racemates, we find that racemates of carboxamide, thioamide, and their combination adopt self-sorting, coassembly, and mixed organization, respectively. Remarkably, these modes of assembly of racemates were also retained in solid-state. These results point out that studying the solution-phase assembly is a key link for connecting molecular structure with the assembly in the solid-state, even for racemates.

Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is an excellent method to determine the secondary structure of proteins in solution. Comparison of experimental spectra with quantum-chemical simulations represents a convenient and objective way to extract information on the structure. This has been difficult for such large molecules where approximate theoretical models have to be used. In the present study we applied the Cartesian-coordinate based tensor transfer (CCT) making it possible to extend the density functional theory (DFT) and model spectral intensities of large globular proteins nearly at quantum-chemical precision. Indeed, comparison with experiment provided a better understanding of the dependence of VCD spectral shapes on the geometry, their sensitivity to fine structural details and interactions with the environment. On a model set of globular proteins the simulated spectra correlated well with experimental data and revealed which structural information can (and cannot) be obtained from this kind of spectroscopy. Although the VCD technique has been regarded as being rather insensitive to side-chain variations, we found that the spectra of human and hen lysozyme differing by a few amino acids only are quite distinct. This has been explained by long-distance coupling of the amide vibrations. Likewise, the modeling reproduced some spectral changes caused by protein deuteration even when the protein structure was conserved.
