Abstract
Oligomers of benzoylalanine-based amidothioureas containing four β-turn structures spaced by meta-substituted benzenes were shown to undergo assembly in dilute CH3CN solution into supramolecular helices of enhanced supramolecular helicity, whereas those spaced by para-substituted benzene spacer(s) or those spaced by meta-substituted benzenes but with one or two β-turns exhibit a substantially decreased tendency of assembling.

Abstract
Natural protein channels have evolved with exquisite structures to transport ions selectively and rapidly. Learning from nature to construct biomimetic artificial channels is always challenging. Herein we present a unimolecular transmembrane proton channel by quinoline-derived helix, which exhibited highly selective and ultrafast proton transport behaviors. This helix-based channel possesses a small luminal cavity of 1 Å in diameter, which could efficiently reject the permeation of cations, anions or water molecules but only permits the translocation of protons owing to the size effect. The proton flow rate exceeded 107 H+ s-1 channel-1 and reached the same magnitude with gramicidin A. Mechanism investigation revealed that the directionally arrayed NH-chain inside the synthetic channel played a pivotal role during the proton flux. This work not only presented a helix-based channel with the smallest observable nanopore, but also unveiled an unexplored pathway for realizing efficient transport of protons via the consecutive NH-chain.

Abstract
Supramolecular helices from helical building blocks represent an emerging analogue of the α-helix. In cases where the helicity of the helical building block is well propagated, the head-to-tail intermolecular interactions that lead to the helix could be enhanced to promote the formation and the stability of the supramolecular helix, wherein homochiral elongation dominates and functional helical channel structures could also be generated. This feature article outlines the supramolecular helices built from helical building blocks, i.e., helical aromatic foldamers and helical short peptides that are held together by intermolecular π-π stacking, hydrogen/halogen/chalcogen bonding, metal coordination, dynamic covalent bonding and solvophobic interactions, with emphasis on the influence of efficient propagation of helicity during assembly, favouring homochirality and channel functions.

Abstract
Biomimetic solid-state nanochannel/nanopore with flexible geometric structures, mechanical robustness and multifunctional surfaces have attracted extensive attention in separation, catalysis, drug delivery and other fields. Nanostructures have been introduced in nanoconfines to compress substances passthrough for high-efficient screening. However, precise controls of the nanostructure's growth in nanoconfines is rare. Herein, we developed a method to control size and number density of nanoparticles in nanochannels by adjusting polydopamine reducing conditions, achieving (1) particle size increasing, density increasing; (2) particle size increasing, density decreasing; (3) particle size increasing, density invariant; (4) particle size invariant, density increasing. The nanoparticles compressed the space of functional molecules decorated on them. Increasing size and density of nanoparticle enhanced the steric hinderance of functional molecules decorated on them and improved the wetting and chirality screening through nanochannels.

Abstract
The reversible unfolding-refolding transition is considerably important for natural elastomeric proteins (e.g., titin) to fulfill their biological functions. It is of great importance to develop synthetic versions by borrowing their unique stretchable design principles. Herein, we present a novel pulsating vesicle by means of the aqueous self-assembly of supra-amphiphilic helices. Interestingly, this vesicle simultaneously features dynamic swelling and shrinkage movements in response to external proton triggers. Titin-like unfolding-refolding transformation of artificial helices was proved to play a crucial role in this pulsatile motion. Moreover, the vesicular membrane of this vesicle has exhibited tunable permeability during reversible expansion and contraction circulation. Meanwhile, light can also be used as a driving force to further regulate the disassembly-reassembly transformation of the pulsating vesicle. In addition, the drug delivery system was also employed as an investigating model to estimate the permeability variation and disassembly-reassembly behaviors of the pulsating vesicles, which displayed unique dual quick- and sustained-release behaviors toward anti-cancer agents. It is anticipated that this work opens an avenue for fabricating novel stretchable biomimetics by using the exclusive unfolding-refolding nature of artificial foldamers.
