Abstract
The use of biological host-guest interactions, specifically the binding of hemoprotein to heme, has attracted significant research interest in the design of artificial protein assemblies. However, because of the inherent flexibility of the propionic acid group of heme, it is difficult to control the positioning and orientation of the protein unit and to construct well-ordered structures. Herein, we report a heme-substituted protein dimer composed of the native hemoprotein HasA, which accommodates a tetraphenylporphyrin bearing an additional metal coordination site. The specific binding of the tetraphenylporphyrin with an additional metal coordination site that protrudes in a fixed direction confines the configuration of the dimer structure to a defined bent form. The small-angle X-ray scattering profile shows the dimer structure with a bent form and suggests dynamic rotational behavior while keeping its bent-core structure, resembling a bevel gear. This unique dimer structure demonstrates that the design of heme-substituted protein assemblies can be expanded to protein assemblies while maintaining the rotational freedom of the individual protein units.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the hierarchical design of functional, fibrous polymer monoliths. The monoliths are composed of conjugated microporous polymers that not only are embedded with heteroatoms but also feature fibrous yet compressible structures due to the in situ self-assembly process that occurs during the polymerization process. Therefore, the doped nitrogen atoms can allow the growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) nanocrystals, which causes the homogeneous encapsulation of individual fibers. The resulting hybrid monoliths exhibit enhanced physical properties as well as catalytic activity, allowing the formation of an additional coating layer via a thiol-epoxy reaction. The deliberate inclusion of template molecules during the reaction forms molecularly imprinted sites on the fibers to afford functional monoliths. As a proof of concept, the hierarchically designed materials are able to show effective recognition properties toward diethylstilbestrol, an endocrine disruptor, taking advantage of the binding sites that selectively capture the analyte molecules and the fibrous morphology that increases the accessibility of these binding sites. We envisage that the incorporation of various heteroatoms or nanocrystals will bring about the bespoke design of advanced monoliths with autonomous functions, leading to smart textile systems.
