Peptide self-assembly is of direct relevance to protein science and bionanotechnology, but the underlying mechanism still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate distinct roles noncovalent interactions their impact on nanostructural templating using carefully designed hexapeptides, I2K2I2, I4K2, KI4K. These simple variations in sequence led drastic changes final self-assembled structures. β-sheet hydrogen bonding was found favor formation one-dimensional nanostructures, such as nanofibrils...
An aqueous‐based microcompartmentalized model involving the integration of partially hydrophobic Fe(III)‐rich montmorillonite (FeM) clay particles as structural and catalytic building blocks for colloidosome membrane assembly, self‐directed remodeling, signal‐induced protocell communication is described. The colloidosomes exhibit size‐ charge‐selective permeability, show dual functions spatially confined enzyme‐mediated dephosphorylation peroxidase‐like activity. latter used...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel category of porous crystalline materials with an exceptionally high surface area and adjustable pore structure. They possess designable composition can be easily functionalized different units. Porphyrins conjugated tetrapyrrole macrocyclic structures absorb light from ultraviolet to visible regions, their properties facilely regulated by altering peripheral groups or central metal ions. Porphyrin-based MOFs constructed porphyrin ligands nodes...
Many de novo designed amphiphilic peptides capable of self-assembly and further structural templating into hierarchical organizations such as nanofibers gels carry more than 10 amino acid residues. A curious question is now raised about the minimal size that required for initiating amphiphilically driven nanostructuring. In this work, we show ultrashort I3K L3K could readily self-assemble stable nanostructures. While formed spherical nanospheres with diameters ∼10−15 nm, self-assembled...
This work reports a mechanistic study of template-directed synthesis silica nanomaterials utilizing self-assembled peptide nanotubes as scaffolds. An ultrashort amphiphilic (I3K) underwent self-assembly in aqueous solution under ambient conditions to form long and uniform nanotubes. The assembled then were used templates for the subsequent fabrication from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), also conditions. In order gain better insight into mediation on formation nanostructures, we have carefully...
Molecular fluorescence blinking provides a simple and attractive way to achieve super-resolution localization via conventional microscopy. However, success in imaging relies heavily on their characteristics. We here report easily prepared photostable nanoparticles, carbon dots (CDs), with desirable for high-density imaging. The CDs exhibit low duty cycle (∼0.003) high photon output (∼8000) per switching event, as well show much higher resistance photobleaching than Alexa 647 or Cy5 typically...
Highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with quantum yields up to 96% were rapidly synthesized within 5 min via microwave irradiation controllable temperature. Multifunctional bioimaging including live cell staining, cell-specific targeting and in vivo imaging further demonstrated by using high quality low cost CDs as contrast agents.
Nucleoli are important subnuclear structures inside cells. We report novel fluorescent gold nanoclusters (K–AuNCs) that able to stain the nucleoli selectively and make it possible explore nucleolar morphology with fluorescence imaging technique. This probe is prepared through an easy synthesis method by employing a tripeptide (Lys–Cys–Lys) as surface ligand. The properties, including deep-red emission (680 nm), large Stocks shift, broad excitation band, low cytotoxicity, good photostability,...
Recent studies have indicated that the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an ideal therapeutic target for osteoporosis because it affects differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. RNA sequencing utilizing multifunctional graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets revealed a correlation between GO nanomaterials NLRP3 inflammasome, as well osteogenic genes in macrophages. This study aimed to construct bone...
Complex internal stresses that appear in flexible thin-film electronic devices under long-term deformation operation are associated with incompatible mechanical properties of the multiple layers, which potentially cause intralayer fracture and separation. These defects may result device instability, performance loss, failure. Herein, a thermoplastic functional strategy is proposed for manufacturing high-performance stretchable semiconducting polymers excellent strain-tolerance capacities...
Abstract Cephalopods such as squids, octopuses, and cuttlefishes can change their bodies’ color to match the surrounding environments by contracting or expanding sac just below surface of skin. Inspired this mechanism, artificial cephalopod chromatophores which are prepared thermoresponsive poly( N ‐isopropyl acrylamide)‐based hydrogel films embedded with black, red, yellow pigments presented, they swell shrink under temperature stimuli, like natural chromatophores. The cuttlefish ink...
Focusing on the complex mechanical responses exhibited by semi-crystalline polymers under coupled influences of strain hardening, strain-rate strengthening, and temperature softening, this paper proposes a phenomenological constitutive model employing three-branch parallel structure. Using hybrid global optimization algorithm, optimal parameters for polypropylene were identified, attaining coefficient determination 0.9834 controlling average absolute relative error within 6.4%. Moreover,...
