Prototypes of biosystems provide good blueprints for the design and creation biomimetic systems. However, mimicking both sophisticated natural structures their complex biological functions still remains a great challenge. Herein, chloroplast mimics have been fabricated by one-step bioinspired amino acid mineralization simultaneous integration catalytically active units. Hierarchically structured crystals were obtained metal-ion-directed self-assembly cystine (the oxidized dimer cysteine),...
Abstract Luminescent metal nanoclusters (NCs) are emerging as a new class of functional materials that have rich physicochemical properties and wide potential applications. In recent years, it has been found some NCs undergo aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) an interesting fluorescence‐to‐phosphorescence (F‐P) switching in solutions. However, insights both the AIE F‐P remain largely unknown. Now, gelation water soluble, atomically precise Ag 9 is achieved by addition antisolvent....
In this work, through the aqueous phase self-assembly of an Eu-containing polyoxometalate (POM), Na9[EuW10O36]·32H2O (EuW10) and different amino acids, we obtained spontaneously formed vesicles that showed luminescence enhancement for EuW10 arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), or histidine (His) complexes, but quenching glutamic acid (Glu) aspartic (Asp) complexes. The binding mechanisms between them have been explored at molecular level by using characterization techniques. It was found acted as...
Conjugation of biomolecules on the surface nanoparticles (NPs) to achieve active targeting is widely investigated within scientific community. However, while a basic framework physicochemical processes underpinning bionanoparticle recognition now emerging, precise evaluation interactions between engineered NPs and biological targets remains underdeveloped. Here, we show how adaptation method currently used evaluate molecular ligand-receptor by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) can be obtain...
A new integrated tunable microfluidic particle synthesis and shape population analysis workflow allows us to study the immunological readouts for even highly complex shaped nanoparticles. Using this approach, we demonstrate that some gold nanoparticles, when injected parenterally, are taken up by axillary brachial lymph nodes. We then show specific nanoparticle shapes influence primary structure of T cell receptor, inducing changes in hypervariable complementary-determining regions (CDRs)...

The control of materials concerning size as well high-order organization may have profound implications for a wide variety technologies. Herein, we develop facile strategy to fabricate hierarchically organized amino acid and quantum dot (QD) biomimetic light-harvesting antenna via the integration coordination-driven self-assembly bioinspired mineralization. Simplified from phytochelatins, cystine is used chelating agent bind cadmium ions (Cd2+). This coordination interaction further drives...
The scheme of recycling nanoflowers as an efficient catalyst for degradation MB.
Since it is now possible to make, in a controlled fashion, an almost unlimited variety of nanostructure shapes, increasing interest understand the forms biological control that nanoscale shape allows. However, priori rational investigation such vast universe shapes appears present intractable fundamental and practical challenges. This has limited useful systematic their interactions development innovative shape-dependent therapies. Here, we introduce concept biologically relevant inductive...
In this article, a sensitive and selective on–off–on fluorescence chemosensor, Tyloxapol (one kind of water soluble oligomer), was developed for the label-free detection MnO<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup> ions in aqueous solution.
