Abstract
Despite significant progress achieved in artificial self-sorting in solution, operating self-sorting in the body remains a considerable challenge. Here, we report an in vivo self-sorting peptide system via an in situ assembly evolution for combined cancer therapy. The peptide E3C16-SS-EIY consists of two disulfide-connected segments, E3C16SH and SHEIY, capable of independent assembly into twisted or flat nanoribbons. While E3C16-SS-EIY assembles into nanorods, exposure to glutathione (GSH) leads to the conversion of the peptide into E3C16SH and SHEIY, thus promoting in situ evolution from the nanorods into self-sorted nanoribbons. Furthermore, incorporation of two ligand moieties targeting antiapoptotic protein XIAP and organellar endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the self-sorted nanoribbons allows for simultaneous inhibition of XIAP and accumulation surrounding ER. This leads to the cytotoxicity toward the cancer cells with elevated GSH levels, through activating caspase-dependent apoptosis and inducing ER dysfunction. In vivo self-sorting of E3C16-SS-EIY decorated with ligand moieties is thoroughly validated by tissue studies. Tumor-bearing mouse experiments confirm the therapeutic efficacy of the self-sorted assemblies for inhibiting tumor growth, with excellent biosafety. Our findings demonstrate an efficient approach to develop in vivo self-sorting systems and thereby facilitating in situ formulation of biomedical agents.

Abstract
Chiral molecules have similar physicochemical properties, which are different in terms of physiological activities and toxicities, rendering their differentiation and recognition highly significant. Nanozymes, which are nanomaterials with inherent enzyme-like activities, have garnered significant interest owing to their high cost-effectiveness, enhanced stability, and straightforward synthesis. However, constructing nanozymes with high activity and enantioselectivity remains a significant challenge. This review briefly introduces the synthesis methods of chiral nanozymes and systematically summarizes the latest research progress in enantioselective recognition of chiral molecules based on electrochemical methods and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, the challenges and development trends in developing enantioselective nanozymes are discussed. It is expected that this review will provide new ideas for the design of multifunctional chiral nanozymes and broaden the application field of nanozymes.

Abstract
Understanding the interaction between metal ions as catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds as chiral substrates plays an important role in developing chiral supramolecular catalysts with high enantioselectivity. Herein, we found that compared with l-norleucine chiral amphiphile (l-NorC16), l-methionine chiral amphiphile (l-MetC16) with the only heteroatom of S site difference in the hydrophilic group can form a similar supramolecular chiral nanoribbon (NR) with the bilayer structure through the self-assembly approach; yet, the interaction between the Cu(II) ion catalytic centers and supramolecular scaffolds is reinforced, favoring the chirality transfer and therefore enhancing their catalytic enantioselectivity of Diels-Alder reaction from 23% [l-NorC16-NR-Cu(II)] to 78% [l-MetC16-NR-Cu(II)]. Our work demonstrates a new strategy from the perspective of strengthening the metal ion-supramolecular scaffold interaction for the preparation of chiral supramolecular catalysts with good catalytic enantioselectivity.

Acta Biomater 2024; 175:250-261. [PMID: 38122884 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Suicide gene therapy is a promising therapeutic model for ovarian cancer (OC), while suffering from poor gene delivery and limited therapeutic efficacy. To address this concern, here we reported the GSH-responsive morphology-transformable enantiomeric peptide assemblies as delivering vehicles for suicide genes and co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX). Connecting a lipid-like amphiphile and a hydrophilic arginine segment through disulfide bonds led to the enantiomeric peptides. The enantiomeric peptide assemblies are able to simultaneously uptake plasmid DNA (pDNA) and PTX based on electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The resulting co-assemblies underwent GSH-responsive disulfide cleavage and thereby promoting their assembly from nanoparticles to nanofibers, leading to the co-release of pDNA and PTX. Cellular and animal studies confirmed the co-delivery of pDNA and PTX into OC cells and the cell apoptosis by the enantiomeric peptides. In addition, in vitro and in vivo experiments supported the advanced uptake and cytotoxicity for L-type peptide vehicles by OC cells, and their great potential for OC-imaging, growth-inhibition and apoptosis-induction compared to D-counterpart. Our results demonstrate that the GSH-responsive morphology-transformable chiral peptide assemblies accurately and simultaneously release suicide genes and chemodrugs at tumor sites, thus providing a new strategy for the development of delivering vehicles for suicide gene and establishment of new therapeutic models for ovarian cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Appropriate delivery carriers are essential for the clinical translation of cancer gene therapy, including the emerging suicide gene therapy. By combining the advantages of morphological transformable vehicles with the chirality peptides towards their bioactivity, we developed the GSH-responsive morphology-transformable enantiomeric peptide assemblies as delivering vehicles for suicide genes and co-delivery of paclitaxel. The GSH-responsive assembly of the enantiomeric peptides allows for precise release of plasmid DNA and paclitaxel in cancer cells, and promotes the formation of nanofibrils that facilitate gene entering nuclei for transfection. The enantiomeric peptide-based vehicles show the chirality-dependent capability for inducing cell apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. Our findings demonstrate a new strategy for developing therapeutic models for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Nanozymes, nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like activities, have emerged as a prominent interdisciplinary field over the past decade. To date, over 1200 different nanomaterials have been identified as nanozymes, covering four catalytic categories: oxidoreductases, hydrolases, isomerases, and lyases. Catalytic activity and specificity are two pivotal benchmarks for evaluating enzymatic performance. Despite substantial progress being made in quantifying and optimizing the catalytic activity of nanozymes, there is still a lack of in-depth research on the catalytic specificity of nanozymes, preventing the formation of consensual knowledge and impeding a more refined and systematic classification of nanozymes. Recently, debates have emerged regarding whether nanozymes could possess catalytic specificity similar to that of enzymes. This Perspective discusses the specificity of nanozymes by referring to the catalytic specificity of enzymes, highlights the specificity gap between nanozymes and enzymes, and concludes by offering our perspective on future research on the specificity of nanozymes.

Abstract
Understanding origin of asymmetric information encoded on chiral nanozymes is important in mediating enantioselective catalysis. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanozymes constructed from P/M-polyaniline (P/M-PANI) nanotwists and metal ions (M2+ , M = Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) are designed through thioglycolic acid (TA) without chiral molecules to show the regulated catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. With combination of chiral environment from supramolecular scaffolds and catalytic center from metal ions, the P-PANI-TA-M2+ as nanozymes show preference to 3,4-dihydroxy-S-phenylalanine (S-DOPA) oxidation while the M-PANI-TA-M2+ show better selectivity to R-DOPA oxidation. Among them, though the Cu2+ doped supramolecular nanotwists show the highest catalytic efficiency, the Co2+ doped ones with moderate catalytic efficiency can exhibit the best enantioselectivity with select factor as high as 2.07. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation clarifies the mechanism of enantioselective catalysis caused by the differential kinetics with S/R-DOPA enantiomers adsorbed on chiral PANI surface and free in solution. This work systematically studies the synergistic effect between the chiral supramolecular nanostructures assembled by achiral species and metal ions as peroxidase-like catalytic centers to regulate the enantioselectivity, providing deep understanding of the origin of asymmetric catalysis and serving as strong foundation to guide the design of nanozymes with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
We investigate the interactions between C-reactive protein (CRP) and new CRP-binding peptide materials using experimental (biological and physicochemical) methods with the support of theoretical simulations (computational modeling analysis). Three specific CRP-binding peptides (P2, P3, and P9) derived from an M13 bacteriophage have been identified using phage-display technology. The binding efficiency of the peptides exposed on phages toward the CRP protein was demonstrated via biological methods. Fibers of the selected phages/peptides interact differently due to different compositions of amino acid sequences on the exposed peptides, which was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Numerical and experimental studies consistently showed that the P3 peptide is the best CRP binder. A combination of theoretical and experimental methods demonstrates that identifying the best binder can be performed simply, cheaply, and fast. Such an approach has not been reported previously for peptide screening and demonstrates a new trend in science where calculations can replace or support laborious experimental techniques. Finally, the best CRP binder─the P3 peptide─was used for CRP recognition on silicate-modified indium tin oxide-coated glass electrodes. The obtained electrodes exhibit a wide range of operation (1.0-100 μg mL-1) with a detection limit (LOD = 3σ/S) of 0.34 μg mL-1. Moreover, the dissociation constant Kd of 4.2 ± 0.144 μg mL-1 (35 ± 1.2 nM) was evaluated from the change in the current. The selectivity of the obtained electrode was demonstrated in the presence of three interfering proteins. These results prove that the presented P3 peptide is a potential candidate as a receptor for CRP, which can replace specific antibodies.

Abstract
In pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, it is imperative to identify chiral molecules. However, colorimetric sensing enantiomers relying on chiral nanozymes is still a major challenge in chirality recognition. Herein, we report a facile and simple strategy to prepare copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using d-cysteine-d-histidine (DCDH), d-cysteine-l-histidine, and l-cysteine-d-histidine as the capping agents. All of these CuNPs exhibited peroxidase-mimicking activity in 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine oxidation and presented chiral selectivity toward 3,4-dihydroxy-d,l-phenylalanine (d,l-DOPA). More importantly, DCDH-modified CuNPs (DCDH@CuNPs) showed higher peroxidase-mimicking catalytic activity in the presence of d-DOPA than l-DOPA. This demonstrates that in the stereoselective recognition CuNPs play the catalytic center role and chiral dipeptide ligands play the inducer role. The insights obtained from this study not only provide information to deeply understand the molecular principles of colorimetric chiral recognition upon CuNPs but also guide the design of dipeptide-based chiral nanozymes toward enantiomers.

Abstract
Abstract
Natural originated materials have been well-studied over the past several decades owing to their higher biocompatibility compared to the traditional polymers. Peptides, consisting of amino acids, are among the most popular programable building blocks, which is becoming a growing interest in nanobiotechnology. Structures assembled using those biomimetic peptides allow the exploration of chemical sequences beyond those been routinely used in biology. In this Review, we discussed the most recent experimental discoveries on the peptide-based assembled nanostructures and their potential application at the cellular level such as drug delivery. In particular, we explored the fundamental principles of peptide self-assembly and the most recent development in improving their interactions with biological systems. We believe that as the fundamental knowledge of the peptide assemblies evolves, the more sophisticated and versatile nanostructures can be built, with promising biomedical applications.

Abstract
Self-sorting is a common phenomenon in eukaryotic cells and represents one of the versatile strategies for the formation of advanced functional materials; however, developing artificial self-sorting assemblies within living cells remains challenging. Here, we report on the GSH-responsive in situ self-sorting peptide assemblies within cancer cells for simultaneous organelle targeting to promote combinatorial organelle dysfunction and thereby cell death. The self-sorting system was created via the design of two peptides E3C16E6 and EVMSeO derived from lipid-inspired peptide interdigitating amphiphiles and peptide bola-amphiphiles, respectively. The distinct organization patterns of the two peptides facilitate their GSH-induced self-sorting into isolated nanofibrils as a result of cleavage of disulfide-connected hydrophilic domains or reduction of selenoxide groups. The GSH-responsive in situ self-sorting in the peptide assemblies within HeLa cells was directly characterized by super-resolution structured illumination microscopy. Incorporation of the thiol and ER-targeting groups into the self-sorted assemblies endows their simultaneous targeting of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, thus leading to combinatorial organelle dysfunction and cell death. Our results demonstrate the establishment of the in situ self-sorting peptide assemblies within living cells, thus providing a unique platform for drug targeting delivery and an alternative strategy for modulating biological processes in the future.

Abstract
The production of enantiopure chemicals is an essential part of modern chemical industry. Hence, the emergence of asymmetric catalysis led to dramatic changes in the procedures of chemical synthesis, and now it provides the most advantageous and economically executable solution for large-scale production of chiral chemicals. In recent years, nanostructures have emerged as potential materials for asymmetric synthesis. Indeed, on the one hand, nanomaterials offer great opportunities as catalysts in asymmetric catalysis, due to their tunable absorption, chirality, and unique energy transfer properties; on the other hand, the advantages of the larger surface area, increased number of unsaturated coordination centres, and more accessible active sites open prospects for catalyst encapsulation, partial or complete, in a nanoscale cavity, pore, pocket, or channel leading to alteration of the chemical reactivity through spatial confinement. This review focuses on anisotropic nanomaterials and considers the state-of-the-art progress in asymmetric synthesis catalysed by 1D, 2D and 3D nanostructures. The discussion comprises three main sections according to the nanostructure dimensionality. We analyze recent advances in materials and structure development, discuss the functional role of the nanomaterials in asymmetric synthesis, chirality, confinement effects, and reported enantioselectivity. Finally, the new opportunities and challenges of anisotropic 1D, 2D, and 3D nanomaterials in asymmetric synthesis, as well as the future prospects and current trends of the design and applications of these materials are analyzed in the Conclusions and outlook section.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The precise control of parallel versus antiparallel molecular arrangements in synthetic assemblies of biorelated molecules is an attractive research focus from both scientific and technological viewpoints. However, little is known about cellulose-based synthetic assemblies. We hypothesized the existence of potential parameters, such as temperature, salt concentration, salt species, and solvent species, for controlling the molecular arrangement in assemblies of alkyl β-cellulosides with different alkyl chain lengths. EXPERIMENTAL The self-assembly of alkyl β-cellulosides was triggered by neutralization-induced water insolubilization. The crystal structures of the cellulose moieties in the assemblies were characterized by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements. The morphologies of the assemblies were also characterized by scanning electron, atomic force, and transmission electron microscopy. FINDINGS The temperature for the self-assembly, the concentration and species of inorganic salt in the self-assembly solution, and the solvent species (namely, the addition of water-miscible organic solvents into the self-assembly solution) strongly affected the molecular arrangement of the assemblies. The observations suggested that hydrophobic effects between the alkyl groups of the alkyl β-cellulosides and/or interactions of the alkyl β-cellulosides with solvent species were potential factors for controlling the molecular arrangement.

Abstract
Current strategies for the design of antibacterial peptides show limitations in the development of assembled antibacterial peptides due to the challenges in simultaneously balancing the antibacterial activity and assembling behavior. Herein, we report on one strategy for the design of antibacterial peptides derived from virulent amyloids and investigate their self-assembly into nanostructures with remarkable antibacterial activity. The peptides were either directly truncated from virulent amyloid peptide PSM α3 or mutated from the original sequence by replacing the lysine and phenylalanine residues with arginine or tryptophan, leading to three undecapeptides. Conformational and morphological results indicated the formation of nanotubes and twisted nanoribbons by the truncated peptide and the mutated peptide, respectively, predominately driven by anti-parallel β-sheets. Bacterial culturing experiments revealed that the two mutated peptides possessed remarkable antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting the bacterial membrane at a concentration above their critical aggregation concentrations, thus leading to two nanoantibacterials. Our findings demonstrate that biomimetic peptides originated from virulent amyloids exhibit great potential in the development of assembled antibacterial peptides, thus providing a new strategy for simultaneously addressing the antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics of natural antibacterial peptides in the future.

Abstract
Precise adjustment of microstructure and handedness of chiral nanomaterials is important to regulate their properties and performance. Herein, helical 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin (APF) nanotubes and corresponding carbonaceous nanotubes with controllable handedness and optical activity were obtained via an external metal ion-mediated supramolecular co-templating method in an enantiomerically pure template system, in which an appropriate amount of Mn2+ (Co2+ or Ni2+ ) with moderate coordination abilities can reverse the spatial arrangement of the phenylglycine-based amphiphilic template molecules through metal coordination. Different stacking modes of coordination complexes in disparate metal ion systems lead to diverse helical senses (diameter and pitch) of the obtained helical APF. In addition, this coordination mode of metal intervention can be applied to other amine-based helical polymer synthesis systems, which paves the way for the design of high-quality chiral nanomaterials with satisfactory physical parameters and properties.

Abstract
Herein, in this study, we utilized Ag+-ligand interactions for critically regulating the morphology of carbon by the Stöber-silica/carbon co-assembly method for the first time. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) assemble upon dictation by Ag+ and pyridyl-functionalized surfactants, producing porous carbon tubes (RF1) with a high surface area of 696 m2 g-1 and accessible mesopores ∼15 nm in size. Furthermore, when using tetrapropyl orthosilicate (TPOS) with a slower hydrolysis rate than that of TEOS, carbon tubes (RF2) with enhanced uniformity and a surface area as high as 2112 m2 g-1 are generated. Additionally, when using dopamine hydrochloride instead of RF as a carbon precursor, tubular polydopamine (TDA) with lengths of tens of microns is fabricated, which exhibits excellent catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reactions in alkaline solutions due to its unique structural feature, a high surface area of 1350 m2 g-1, metallic silver remains of 8.3 wt%, and a rich nitrogen content of 3.6 wt%. This work sheds light on the engineering of a micellar soft template and synthesizing novel nanostructures by the extension of the Stöber method.
