Abstract
Disordered proteins often undergo a stimuli-responsive, disorder-to-order transition which facilitates dynamic processes that modulate the physiological activities and material properties of cells, such as strength, chemical composition, and reflectance. It remains challenging to gain rapid and spatiotemporal control over such disorder-to-order transitions, which limits the incorporation of these proteins into novel materials. The reflectin protein is a cationic, disordered protein whose assembly is responsible for dynamic color camouflage in cephalopods. Stimuli-responsive control of reflectin's assembly would enable the design of biophotonic materials with tunable color. Herein, a novel, multivalent azobenzene photoswitch is shown to be an effective and non-invasive strategy for co-assembling with reflectin molecules and reversibly controlling assembly size. Photoisomerization between the trans and cis (E and Z) photoisomers promotes or reduces Coulombic interactions, respectively, with reflectin proteins to repeatedly cycle the sizes of the photoswitch-reflectin assemblies between 70 nm and 40 nm. The protein assemblies formed with the trans and cis isomers show differences in interaction stoichiometry and secondary structure, which indicate that photoisomerization modulates the photoswitch-protein interactions to change assembly size. Our results highlight the utility of photoswitchable interactions to control reflectin assembly and provide a tunable synthetic platform that can be adapted to the structure, assembly, and function of other disordered proteins.

Abstract
Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share many structural properties, such as helix induction or conformational communication mechanisms. The introduction of stimuli responsive building blocks or monomer repeating units in these materials triggers conformational or structural changes, due to the presence/absence of the external stimulus, which are transmitted to the helix resulting in different effects, such as assymetry amplification, helix inversion or even changes in the helical scaffold (elongation, J/H helical aggregates). In this review, we show through selected examples how different stimuli (e.g., temperature, solvents, cations, anions, redox, chiral additives, pH or light) can alter the helical structures of dynamic helical polymers (covalent and supramolecular) and foldamers acting on the conformational composition or molecular structure of their components, which is also transmitted to the macromolecular helical structure.

Abstract
We report on a convenient synthetic route to rapidly access a new photo-responsive ortho-azobenzene/2,6-pyridyldicarboxamide heterofoldamer. The adoption of a stable helical conformation has been established for this scaffold in both the solid state and in solution using single crystal X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy respectively. Reversible control over the stimuli-driven structural re-ordering of the supramolecular scaffold, from a stable helical conformation under non-irradiative conditions, to a less well-ordered state under irradiative conditions, has been identified. The robust nature of the responsive, conformational, molecular switching behaviour has been determined using UV/Vis, 1H NMR and CD spectroscopy. Minimal loss in the efficiency of the stimuli-driven, structural re-ordering processes of the foldamer scaffold is observed, even upon multiple cyclic treatments with irradiative/non-irradiative conditions.

Abstract
Photofoldamers are sequence-defined receptors capable of switching guest binding on and off. When two foldamer strands wrap around the guest into 2:1 double helical complexes, cooperativity emerges, and with it comes the possibility to switch cooperativity with light and other stimuli. We use lessons from nonswitchable sequence isomers of aryl-triazole foldamers to guide how to vary the sequence location of azobenzenes from the end (FEND) to the interior (FIN) and report their impact on the cooperative formation of 2:1 complexes with Cl-. This sequence change produces a 125-fold increase from anti-cooperative (α = 0.008) for FEND to non-cooperative with FIN (α = 1.0). Density functional theory (DFT) studies show greater H-bonding and a more relaxed double helix for FIN. The solvent and guest complement the synthetic designs. Use of acetonitrile to enhance solvophobicity further enhances cooperativity in FIN (α = 126) but lowers the difference in cooperativity between sequences. Surprisingly, the impact of the sequence on cooperativity is inverted when the guest size is increased from Cl- (3.4 Å) to BF4- (4.1 Å). While photoconversion of interior azobenzenes was poor, the cis-cis isomer forms 1:1 complexes around chloride consistent with switching cooperativity. The effect of the guest, solvent, and light on the double-helix cooperativity depends on the sequence.

Abstract
The design of molecular cages with low symmetry could allow for more specific tuning of their properties and better mimic the unsymmetrical and complex environment of protein pockets. However, the added value of lowering symmetry of molecular receptors has been rarely demonstrated. Herein, C3 - and C1 -symmetrical cages, presenting the same recognition sites, have been synthesized and investigated as hosts for carbohydrate recognition. Structurally related derivatives of glucose, galactose and mannose were found to have greater affinity to the receptor with the lowest symmetry than to their C3 -symmetrical analogue. According to the host cavity modelling, the C1 symmetry receptor exhibits a wider opening than its C3 -symmetrical counterpart, providing easier access and thus promoting guest proximity to binding sites. Moreover, our results show the high stereo- and substrate selectivity of the C1 symmetry cage with respect to its C3 counterpart in the recognition of sugars.

Abstract
A series of aromatic oligoamide foldamer sequences containing different proportions of three δ‐amino acids derived from quinoline, pyridine, and benzene and possessing varying flexibility, for example due to methylene bridges, were synthesized. Crystallographic structures of two key sequences and 1H NMR data in water concur to show that a canonical aromatic helix fold prevails in almost all cases and that helix stability critically depends on the ratio between rigid and flexible units. Notwithstanding subtle variations of curvature, i. e. the numbers of units per turn, the aromatic δ‐peptide helix is therefore shown to be general and tolerant of a great number of sp3 centers. We also demonstrate canonical helical folding upon alternating two monomers that do not promote folding when taken separately: folding occurs with two methylenes between every other unit, not with one methylene between every unit. These findings highlight that a fine‐tuning of helix handedness inversion kinetics, curvature, and side chain positioning in aromatic δ‐peptidic foldamers can be realized by systematically combining different yet compatible δ‐amino acids.

Abstract
Synthetic foldamers with helical conformation are widely seen, but controllable interconversion amongst different geometries (helical structure and sense) is challenging. Here, a family of oligourea (tetra-, penta-, and hexa-) ligands bearing stereocenters at both ends are designed and shown to switch between single and double helices with concomitant inversion of helical senses upon anion coordination. The tetraurea ligand forms a right-handed single helix upon chloride anion (Cl-) binding and is converted into a left-handed double helix when phosphate anion (PO4 3-) is coordinated. The helical senses of the single and double helices are opposite, and the conversion is further found to be dependent on the stoichiometry of the ligand and phosphate anion. In contrast, only a single helix is formed for the hexaurea ligand with the phosphate anion. This distinction is attributed to the fact that the characteristic phosphate anion coordination geometry is satisfied by six urea moieties with twelve H-bonds. Our study revealed unusual single-double helix interconversion accompanied by unexpected chiroptical switching of helical senses.

Abstract
A series of aromatic helix-sheet-helix oligoamide foldamers composed of several different photosensitive diazaanthracene units have been designed and synthesized. Molecular objects up to 7 kDa were straightforwardly produced on a 100 mg scale. Nuclear magnetic resonance and crystallographic investigations revealed that helix-sheet-helix architectures can adopt one or two distinct conformations. Sequences composed of an even number of turn units were found to fold in a canonical symmetrical conformation with two helices of identical handedness stacked above and below the sheet segment. Sequences composed of an odd number of turns revealed a coexistence between a canonical fold with helices of opposite handedness and an alternate fold with a twist within the sheet and two helices of identical handedness. The proportions between these species could be manipulated, in some cases quantitatively, being dependent on solvent, temperature, and absolute control of helix handedness. Diazaanthracene units were shown to display distinct reactivity toward [4 + 4] photocycloadditions according to the substituent in position 9. Their organization within the sequences was programmed to allow photoreactions to take place in a specific order. Reaction pathways and kinetics were deciphered and product characterized, demonstrating the possibility to orchestrate successive photoreactions so as to avoid orphan units or to deliberately produce orphan units at precise locations. Strong cooperative effects were observed in which the photoreaction rate was influenced by the presence (or absence) of photoadducts in the structure. Multiple photoreactions within the aromatic sheet eventually lead to structure lengthening and stiffening, locking conformational equilibria. Photoproducts could be thermally reverted.

Abstract
Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus-responsive materials. During the past few decades, the DAE family has achieved a leap from simple molecules to functional molecules and developed toward validity as a universal switching building block. In recent years, the introduction of DAE into an assembly system has been an attractive strategy that enables the photochromic behavior of the building blocks to be manifested at the level of the entire system, beyond the DAE unit itself. This assembly-based strategy will bring many unexpected results that promote the design and manufacture of a new generation of advanced materials. Here, recent advances in the design and fabrication of diarylethene as a trigger in materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine are reviewed.

Abstract
"Chirality" governs many fundamental properties in chemistry and biochemistry. While early investigations on stereochemistry are primarily dedicated to static chirality, there is an increasing interest in the field of dynamic chirality (chiral switches). These chiral switches are essential in controlling the directionality in molecular motors. Dynamic chiralities are equally crucial in switchable stereoselectivity, switchable asymmetric catalysis and enantioselective separation. Herein, we limit our discussion to recent advances on stimuli-induced chiroptical switching of axial, helical, and planar chirality in response to external stimuli. We also discuss a few examples of applications of the switchable chirality.

Abstract
We demonstrate here a unique metallo-organic material where the appearance and the internal crystal structure are in contradiction. The egg-shaped (ovoid) crystals have a brain-like texture. Although these micro-sized crystals are monodispersed; like fingerprints their grainy surfaces are never exactly alike. Remarkably, our X-ray and electron diffraction studies unexpectedly revealed that these structures are single-crystals comprising a continuous coordination network of two differently shaped homochiral channels. By using the same building blocks under different reaction conditions, a rare series of crystals have been obtained that are uniquely rounded in their shape. In stark contrast to the brain-like crystals, these isostructural and monodispersed crystals have a comparatively smooth appearance. The sizes of these crystals vary by several orders of magnitude.
