Abstract
The cellular microenvironment is composed of a dynamic hierarchical fibrillar architecture providing a variety of physical and bioactive signals to the surrounding cells. This dynamicity, although common in biology, is a challenge to control in synthetic matrices. Here, responsive synthetic supramolecular monomers were designed that are able to assemble into hierarchical fibrous structures, combining supramolecular fiber formation via hydrogen bonding interactions, with a temperature-responsive hydrophobic collapse, resulting in cross-linking and hydrogel formation. Therefore, amphiphilic molecules were synthesized, composed of a hydrogen bonding ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) unit, a hydrophobic alkyl spacer, and a hydrophilic oligo(ethylene glycol) tail. The temperature responsive behavior was introduced by functionalizing these supramolecular amphiphiles with a relatively short poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chain (M n ∼ 2.5 or 5.5 kg/mol). To precisely control the assembly of these monomers, the length of the alkyl spacer between the UPy moiety and PNIPAM was varied in length. A robust sol-gel transition, with the dodecyl UPy-PNIPAM molecule, was obtained, with a network elasticity enhancing over 2000 times upon heating above room temperature. The UPy-PNIPAM compounds with shorter alkyl spacers were already hydrogels at room temperature. The sol-gel transition of the dodecyl UPy-PNIPAM hydrogelator could be tuned by the incorporation of different UPy-functionalized monomers. Furthermore, we demonstrated the suitability of this system for microfluidic cell encapsulation through a convenient temperature sol-gel transition. Our results indicate that this novel thermoresponsive supramolecular system offers a modular platform to study and guide single-cell behavior.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry combines the strength of molecular assembly via various molecular interactions. Hydrogen bonding facilitated self-assembly with the advantages of directionality, specificity, reversibility, and strength is a promising approach for constructing advanced supramolecules. There are still some challenges in hydrogen bonding based supramolecular polymers, such as complexity originating from tautomerism of the molecular building modules, the assembly process, and structure versatility of building blocks. In this review, examples are selected to give insights into multiple hydrogen bonding driven emerging supramolecular architectures. We focus on chiral supramolecular assemblies, multiple hydrogen bonding modules as stimuli responsive sources, interpenetrating polymer networks, multiple hydrogen bonding assisted organic frameworks, supramolecular adhesives, energy dissipators, and quantitative analysis of nano-adhesion. The applications in biomedical materials are focused with detailed examples including drug design evolution for myotonic dystrophy, molecular assembly for advanced drug delivery, an indicator displacement strategy for DNA detection, tissue engineering, and self-assembly complexes as gene delivery vectors for gene transfection. In addition, insights into the current challenges and future perspectives of this field to propel the development of multiple hydrogen bonding facilitated supramolecular materials are proposed.

Abstract
Controlling the kinetic processes of self-assembly and switching their kinetic properties according to the changes in external environments are crucial concepts in the field of supramolecular polymers in water for biological and biomedical applications. Here we report a new self-assembling amphiphilic 4-aminoquinoline (4-AQ)-tetraphenylethene (TPE) conjugate that exhibits kinetically controllable stepwise self-assembly and has the ability of switching its kinetic nature in response to pH. The self-assembly process of the 4-AQ amphiphile comprises the formation of sphere-like nanoparticles, a transition to short nanofibers, and their growth to long nanofibers with ∼1 μm length scale at room temperature (RT). The timescale of the self-assembly process differs according to the pH-responsivity of the 4-AQ moiety in a weakly acidic to neutral pH range. Therefore, after aging for 24 h at RT, the 4-AQ amphiphile forms metastable short nanofibers at pH 5.5, while it forms thermodynamically favored long nanofibers at pH 7.4. Moreover, the modulation of nanofiber growth proceeding spontaneously at RT was achieved by switching the kinetic pathway through changing the pH between 7.4 and 5.5.

Abstract
Synthetically designed biomaterials strive to recapitulate and mimic the complex environment of natural systems. Using natural materials as a guide, the ability to create high performance biomaterials that control cell fate, and support the next generation of cell and tissue-based therapeutics, is starting to emerge. Supramolecular chemistry takes inspiration from the wealth of non-covalent interactions found in natural materials that are inherently complex, and using the skills of synthetic and polymer chemistry, recreates simple systems to imitate their features. Within the past decade, supramolecular biomaterials have shown utility in tissue engineering and the progress predicts a bright future. On this 30th anniversary of the Netherlands Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering society, we will briefly recount the state of supramolecular biomaterials in the Dutch academic and industrial research and development context. This review will provide the background, recent advances, industrial successes and challenges, as well as future directions of the field, as we see it. Throughout this work, we notice the intricate interplay between simplicity and complexity in creating more advanced solutions. We hope that the interplay and juxtaposition between these two forces can propel the field forward.

Abstract
Supramolecular materials based on the self-assembly of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) offer an approach to mimic fibrous self-assembled proteins found in numerous natural systems. Yet, synthetic methods to rapidly build complexity, scalability, and multifunctionality into BTA-based materials are needed. The diversity of BTA structures is often hampered by the limited flexibility of existing desymmetrization routes and the purification of multifunctional BTAs. To alleviate this bottleneck, we have developed a desymmetrization method based on activated ester coupling of a symmetric synthon. We created a small library of activated ester synthons and found that a pentafluorophenol benzene triester (BTE) enabled effective desymmetrization and creation of multifunctional BTAs in good yield with high reaction fidelity. This new methodology enabled the rapid synthesis of a small library of BTA monomers with hydrophobic and/or orthogonal reactive handles and could be extended to create polymeric BTA hydrogelators. These BTA hydrogelators self-assembled in water to create fiber and fibrous sheet-like structures as observed by cryo-TEM, and the identity of the BTA conjugated can tune the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. These hydrogelators display high cytocompatibility for chondrocytes, indicating potential for the use of these systems in 3D cell culture and tissue engineering applications. This newly developed synthetic strategy facilitates the simple and rapid creation of chemically diverse BTA supramolecular polymers, and the newly developed and scalable hydrogels can unlock exploration of BTA based materials in a wider variety of tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Much effort has been made in the development of biomaterials that synthetically mimic the dynamics of the natural extracellular matrix in tissues. Most of these biomaterials specifically interact with cells, but lack the ability to adapt and truly communicate with the cellular environment. Communication between biomaterials and cells is achieved by the development of various materials with enzyme-responsive moieties in order to respond to cellular cues. In this perspective, we discuss different enzyme-responsive systems, from surfaces to supramolecular assemblies. Additionally, we highlight their further prospects in order to create, inspired by nature, fully autonomous adaptive biomaterials that display dynamic reciprocal behavior. This Perspective shows new strategies for the development of biomaterials that may find broad utility in regenerative medicine applications, from scaffolds for tissue engineering to systems for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers allow access to dynamic materials, where noncovalent interactions can be used to offer both enhanced material toughness and stimuli-responsiveness. The versatility of self-assembly has enabled these supramolecular motifs to be incorporated into a wide array of glassy and elastomeric materials; moreover, the interaction of these noncovalent motifs with their environment has shown to be a convenient platform for controlling material properties. In this Viewpoint, supramolecular polymers are examined through their self-assembly chemistries, approaches that can be used to control their self-assembly (e.g., covalent cross-links, nanofillers, etc.), and how the strategic application of supramolecular polymers can be used as a platform for designing the next generation of smart materials. This Viewpoint provides an overview of the aspects that have garnered interest in supramolecular polymer chemistry, while also highlighting challenges faced and innovations developed by researchers in the field.

Abstract
Methanol soluble and stable guanosine octamers were successfully achieved via H-bond self-assembly. Through structural conformational design, we developed a new class of guanosine derivatives with modification on guanine (8-aryl) and ribose (2',3'-isopropylidene). This unique design led to the formation of the first discrete G8-octamer with its structure characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, MS and NMR spectroscopy. The G8-octamer showed unique cation recognition properties, including the formation of a stable Rb+ templated G-quadruplex. Based on this observation, further modification on the 8-aryl moiety was performed to incorporate a cross-layer H-bond or covalent linkage. Similar G-octamers were obtained in both cases with structures confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the covalently linked G-quadruplex exhibited excellent stability even in MeOH and DMSO, suggesting a promising future for this new H-bond self-assembly system in biological and material applications.

Abstract
The general concept of tissue engineering is to restore biological function by replacing defective tissues with implantable, biocompatible, and easily handleable cell-laden scaffolds. In this study, osteoinductive and osteoconductive super paramagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNP) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles were incorporated into a di-block copolymer based thermo-responsive hydrogel, methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-polyalanine (mPA), at various concentrations to afford composite, injectable hydrogels. Incorporating nanoparticles into the thermo-responsive hydrogel increased the complex viscosity and decreased the gelation temperature of the starting hydrogel. Functionally, the integration of inorganic nanoparticles modulated bio-markers of bone differentiation and enhanced bone mineralization. Moreover, this study adopted the emerging method of using either a supplementary static magnetic field (SMF) or a moving magnetic field to elicit biological response. These results demonstrate that combining external (magnet) and internal (scaffold) magnetisms is a promising approach for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Shear-thinning hydrogels are useful for biomedical applications, from 3D bioprinting to injectable biomaterials. Although they have the appropriate properties for injection, it may be advantageous to decouple injectability from the controlled release of encapsulated therapeutics. Toward this, composites of hydrogels and encapsulated microgels are introduced with microgels that are fabricated via microfluidics. The microgel cross-linker controls degradation and entrapped molecule release, and the concentration of microgels alters composite hydrogel rheological properties. For the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), interleukin-10 (IL-10) is encapsulated in microgels and released from composites. In a rat model of MI, composites with IL-10 reduce macrophage density after 1 week and improve scar thickness, ejection fraction, cardiac output, and the size of vascular structures after 4 weeks when compared to saline injection. Improvements are also observed with the composite without IL-10 over saline, emphasizing the role of injectable hydrogels alone on tissue repair.

Abstract
![]()
In biology, polymorphism is a well-known
phenomenon by which a
discrete biomacromolecule can adopt multiple specific conformations
in response to its environment. The controlled incorporation of polymorphism
into noncovalent aqueous assemblies of synthetic small molecules is
an important step toward the development of bioinspired responsive
materials. Herein, we report on a family of carboxylic acid functionalized
water-soluble benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) that self-assemble
in water to form one-dimensional fibers, membranes, and hollow nanotubes.
Interestingly, one of the BTAs with the optimized position of the
carboxylic group in the hydrophobic domain yields nanotubes that undergo
reversible temperature-dependent dynamic reorganizations. SAXS and
Cryo-TEM data show the formation of elongated, well-ordered nanotubes
at elevated temperatures. At these temperatures, increased dynamics,
as measured by hydrogen–deuterium exchange, provide enough
flexibility to the system to form well-defined nanotube structures
with apparently defect-free tube walls. Without this flexibility,
the assemblies are frozen into a variety of structures that are very
similar at the supramolecular level, but less defined at the mesoscopic
level.

Abstract
In this paper we report a coumarin-conjugated self-assembling system adorned with valuable features such as high duplex stability and a built-in fluorophore, which would augment its application potential. This system forms a highly stable molecular duplex in a nonpolar solvent (Kdim > 1.9 × 107 M-1 in CDCl3). Due to the fluorescent property of coumarin, these new structural motifs may find potential application in material chemistry and supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
This communication reports an effective approach for addressing the prototropy-related problems in heterocycle-based AADD-type self-assembling systems by freezing their hydrogen-bonding codes, by utilizing intramolecular bifurcated hydrogen bonding interactions. Using this strategy, we have also developed a hydroquinone-conjugated AADD-type self-assembling system adorned with three valuable features such as prototropy-free dimerization yielding single duplexes, high duplex stability and a built-in fluorophore, which would augment its application potential. The rational approach used herein to arrest prototropic shift may also find application elsewhere, wherein proton shift-mediated structural changes become a detrimental factor.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful tool for the construction of complex nanostructures. Despite advances in the field, the development of precise self-assembled structures remains a challenge. We have shown that, in the presence of suitably sized cations like K(+), 8-aryl-2'-deoxyguanosine (8ArG) derivatives self-assemble into sets of coaxially stacked planar tetramers, which we term supramolecular G-quadruplexes (SGQs). Previously, we reported that, when the 8-aryl group is a phenyl ring with a meta-carbonyl group, the resulting supramolecule is a hexadecamer, which is remarkably robust as illustrated by its isostructural assembly in both organic and aqueous environments. We report here a detailed three-dimensional structure of the SGQs formed by lipophilic, and hydrophilic, 8ArG derivatives with either 8-(meta-acetylphenyl), 8-(para-acetylphenyl), or 8-(meta-ethoxycarbonylphenyl) groups. The chirality and close contacts between the subunits impose different levels of steric and electrostatic constraints on opposite sides of the tetrads, which determine their preferred relative orientation. The balance between attractive noncovalent interactions juxtaposed with repulsive steric and electrostatic interactions explains the high cooperativity, fidelity, and stability of these SGQs. These structural studies, together with titration experiments and molecular dynamics simulations, provide insight into the mechanism of formation of these SGQs.

Abstract
A unique example of supramolecular polymerisation in water based on monomers with nanomolar affinities, which yield rod-like materials with extraordinarily high thermodynamic stability, yet of finite length, is reported. A small library of charge-neutral dendritic peptide amphiphiles was prepared, with a branched nonaphenylalanine-based core that was conjugated to hydrophilic dendrons of variable steric demand. Below a critical size of the dendron, the monomers assemble into nanorod-like polymers, whereas for larger dendritic side chains frustrated growth into near isotropic particles is observed. The supramolecular morphologies observed by electron microscopy, X-ray scattering and diffusion NMR spectroscopy studies are in agreement with the mechanistic insights obtained from fitting polymerisation profiles: non-cooperative isodesmic growth leads to degrees of polymerisation that match the experimentally determined nanorod contour lengths of close to 70 nm. The reported designs for aqueous self-assembly into well-defined anisotropic particles has promising potential for biomedical applications and the development of functional supramolecular biomaterials, with emerging evidence that anisotropic shapes in carrier design outperform conventional isotropic materials for targeted imaging and therapy.

Abstract
The heterocyclic urea of deazapterin (DeAPa) and its protomeric conformers (b, c) with different substituents are selected as the building block for a series of dimers in different configurations. The stabilities of all dimers in various conditions have been investigated by density functional theory. Homodimer of b has more stability than other dimers. Topological analyses certify the coexistence of intermolecular with intramolecular H-bonds. Investigations into frequency demonstrate that all H-bonds show an evident red shift in their stretching vibrational frequencies. Electron donating substituents can provide favorable free energies of the dimer. Solvent effect computations suggest that the dimerization can be favored in weakly polar solvents, such as toluene and chloroform. UV-visible spectra exhibit obvious difference of maximum absorption wavelengths between monomers and dimers, thus may have potential applications for identifying intermolecular H-bonds and calculating association constant of DeAP equilibrium systems in experiments.

Abstract
Peptide and protein self-assembly resulting in the formation of amyloidogenic aggregates is generally thought of as a pathological event associated with severe diseases. However, amyloid formation may also provide a basis for advanced bionanomaterials, since amyloid fibrils combine unique material-like properties that make them very useful for design of new types of conducting nanowires, bioactive ligands, and biodegradable coatings as drug-encapsulating materials. The morphology of the supramolecular aggregates determines the properties and application range of these bionanomaterials. An important parameter to control the supramolecular morphology, is the overall charge of the peptide, which is related to the pH of the environment. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and morphological analysis of a series of N-terminally functionalized Aβ(16-22) peptides (∼Lys-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-Ala-Glu-OH), that underwent a pH-induced polymorphism, ranging from lamellar sheets, helical tapes, peptide nanotubes, and amyloid fibrils as was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Infrared spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray scattering studies showed that peptide self-assembly was driven by β-sheet formation, and that the supramolecular morphology was directed by subtle variations in electrostatic interactions. Finally, a structural model and hierarchy of self-assembly of a peptide nanotube, assembled at pH 1, is proposed.

Abstract
Membrane separation of biomolecules and their application in biocatalysis is becoming increasingly important for biotechnology, demanding the development of new biocompatible materials with novel properties. In the present study, an entirely noncovalent water-based material is used as a membrane for size-selective separation, immobilization, and biocatalytic utilization of proteins. The membrane shows stable performance under physiological conditions, allowing filtration of protein mixtures with a 150 kDa molecular weight cutoff (∼8 nm hydrodynamic diameter cutoff). Due to the biocompatibility of the membrane, filtered proteins stay functionally active and retained proteins can be partially recovered. Upon filtration, large enzymes become immobilized within the membrane. They exhibit stable activity when subjected to a constant flux of substrates for prolonged periods of time, which can be used to carry out heterogeneous biocatalysis. The noncovalent membrane material can be easily disassembled, purified, reassembled, and reused, showing reproducible performance after recycling. The robustness, recyclability, versatility, and biocompatibility of the supramolecular membrane may open new avenues for manipulating biological systems.

Abstract
A native protein in a biological system spontaneously produces large and elegant assemblies via self-assembly or assembly with various biomolecules which provide non-covalent interactions. In this context, the protein plays a key role in construction of a unique supramolecular structure operating as a functional system. Our group has recently highlighted the structure and function of hemoproteins reconstituted with artificially created heme analogs. The heme molecule is a replaceable cofactor of several hemoproteins. Here, we focus on the successive supramolecular protein assemblies driven by heme-heme pocket interactions to afford various examples of protein fibers, networks and three-dimensional clusters in which an artificial heme moiety is introduced onto the surface of a hemoprotein via covalent linkage and the native heme cofactor is removed from the heme pocket. This strategy is found to be useful for constructing hybrid materials with an electrode or with nanoparticles. The new systems described herein are expected to lead to the generation of various biomaterials with functions and characteristic physicochemical properties similar to those of hemoproteins.

Abstract
After their first synthesis in 1915 by Curtius, benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) have become increasingly important in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Their simple structure and wide accessibility in combination with a detailed understanding of their supramolecular self-assembly behaviour allow full utilization of this versatile, supramolecular building block in applications ranging from nanotechnology to polymer processing and biomedical applications. While the opportunities in the former cases are connected to the self-assembly of BTAs into one-dimensional, nanometer-sized rod like structures stabilised by threefold H-bonding, their multivalent nature drives applications in the biomedical field. This review summarises the different types of BTAs that appeared in the recent literature and the applications they have been evaluated in. Currently, the first commercial applications of BTAs are emerging. The adaptable nature of this multipurpose building block promises a bright future.
