Abstract
The strategy of robust adhesion employed by barnacles renders them fascinating biomimetic candidates for developing novel wet adhesives. Particularly, barnacle cement protein 19k (cp19k) has been speculated to be the key adhesive protein establishing the priming layer in the initial barnacle cement construction. In this work, we systematically studied the sequence design rationale of cp19k by designing adhesive peptides inspired by the low-complexity STGA-rich and the charged segments of cp19k. Combining structure analysis and the adhesion performance test, we found that cp19k-inspired adhesive peptides possess excellent disparate adhesion strategies for both hydrophilic mica and hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer surfaces. Specifically, the low-complexity STGA-rich segment offers great structure flexibility for surface adhesion, while the hydrophobic and charged residues can contribute to the adhesion of the peptides on hydrophobic and charged surfaces. The adaptive adhesion strategy identified in this work broadens our understanding of barnacle adhesion mechanisms and offers valuable insights for designing advanced wet adhesives with exceptional performance on various types of surfaces.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms reduce the performance and efficiency of biomedical and industrial devices. The initial step in forming bacterial biofilms is the weak and reversible attachment of the bacterial cells onto the surface. This is followed by bond maturation and secretion of polymeric substances, which initiate irreversible biofilm formation, resulting in stable biofilms. This implies that understanding the initial reversible stage of the adhesion process is crucial to prevent bacterial biofilm formation. In this study, we analyzed the adhesion processes of E. coli on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with different terminal groups using optical microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance with energy dissipation (QCM-D) monitoring. We found that a considerable number of bacterial cells adhere to hydrophobic (methyl-terminated) and hydrophilic protein-adsorbing (amine- and carboxy-terminated) SAMs forming dense bacterial adlayers while attaching weakly to hydrophilic protein-resisting SAMs [oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) and sulfobetaine (SB)], forming sparse but dissipative bacterial adlayers. Moreover, we observed positive shifts in the resonant frequency for the hydrophilic protein-resisting SAMs at high overtone numbers, suggesting how bacterial cells cling to the surface using their appendages as explained by the coupled-resonator model. By exploiting the differences in the acoustic wave penetration depths at each overtone, we estimated the distance of the bacterial cell body from different surfaces. The estimated distances provide a possible explanation for why bacterial cells tend to attach firmly to some surfaces and weakly to others. This result is correlated to the strength of the bacterium-substratum bonds at the interface. Elucidating how the bacterial cells adhere to different surface chemistries can be a suitable guide in identifying surfaces with a more significant probability of contamination by bacterial biofilms and designing bacteria-resistant surfaces and coatings with excellent bacterial antifouling characteristics.

Abstract
We investigated a viscous protein layer formed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in crowded biological environments. The results were obtained through force spectroscopic measurements using colloidal probes and substantiated by exhaustive analysis using a quartz crystal microbalance with an energy dissipation technique. A hydrophobic SAM of n-octanethiol (C8 SAM) in bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution is buried under an adlayer of denatured BSA molecules and an additional viscous interphase layer that is five times more viscous than the bulk solution. C8 SAMs in fetal bovine serum induced a formation of a thicker adsorbed protein layer but with no observable viscous interphase layer. These findings show that a fouling surface is essentially inaccessible to any approaching molecules and thus has a new biological and physical identity arising from its surrounding protein layers. In contrast, the SAMs composed of sulfobetaine-terminated alkanethiol proved to be sufficiently protein-resistant and bio-inert even under crowded conditions due to a protective barrier of its interfacial water, which has implications in the accurate targeting of artificial particles for drug delivery and similar applications by screening any non-specific interactions. Finally, our strategies provide a platform for the straightforward yet effectual in vitro characterization of diverse types of surfaces in the context of targeted interactions in crowded biological environments.

Abstract
L-Tyrosine diketopiperazine (DKP) derivative 1 was synthesized, and the aggregation and photoluminescence behaviors were examined. A solution of 1 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gradually became viscous at room temperature, and turned into the gel state 5 hours after preparation, as confirmed by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. A solution of 1 in THF exhibited photoluminescence. Fibrous patterns were observed by transmission electron, atomic force and fluorescence microscopies. Dynamic light scattering, semiempirical molecular orbital and density functional theory calculations, as well as molecular dynamics simulations, indicated aggregate formation. This was attributed to intermolecular hydrogen bonding, mainly between the DKP moieties and partly between the urethane moieties, resulting in π-orbital overlap of the terminal phenyl groups leading to photoluminescence.

Abstract
Peptide-based self-assembled monolayers (peptide-SAMs) with specific zwitterionic amino acid sequences express an anti-biofouling property. In this work, we performed protein adsorption and cell adhesion tests using peptide-SAMs with repeating units of various zwitterionic pairs of amino acids (EK, DK, ER, and DR). The SAMs with the repeating units of EK and DK (EK and DK SAMs) manifested excellent bioinertness, whereas the SAMs with the repeating units of ER and DR (ER and DR SAMs) adhered proteins and cells. We also performed surface force measurements using atomic force microscopy to elucidate the mechanism underlying the difference in the anti-biofouling property. Our measurements revealed that water-induced repulsion with a range of about 8 nm acts between EK SAMs (immobilized on both probe and substrate) and DK SAMs, whereas such repulsion was not observed for ER and DR SAMs. The strength of the repulsion exhibited a clear correlation with the protein- and cell-resistance of the SAMs, indicating that the interfacial water in the vicinity of EK and DK SAMs is considered as a physical barrier to deter protein and cells from their adsorption or adhesion. The range of the repulsion observed for EK and DK SAMs is longer than 8 nm, indicating that the hydrogen bonding state of the interfacial water with a thickness of 4 nm is modified by EK and DK SAMs, resulting in the expression of the anti-biofouling property.

Abstract
We report a new approach to visualize the local distribution of molecular recognition sites with nanoscale resolution by amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy. By integrating chemical modification of probes, photothermal excitation to drive a cantilever, and lift-up scanning over surface topography, we successfully visualized binding sites provided by streptavidin on a solid surface for biotin attached on an AFM probe. The optimization of measurement conditions was discussed in detail, and the application of the technique was verified with a different ligand-receptor system.
