Abstract The unique biophysical and biochemical properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and their recombinant derivatives, intrinsically disordered protein polymers (IDPPs) offer opportunities for producing multistimuli‐responsive materials; their sequence‐encoded disorder and tendency for phase separation facilitate the development of multifunctional materials. This review highlights the strategies for enhancing the structural diversity of elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs) and resilin‐like polypeptides (RLPs), and their self‐assembled structures via genetic fusion to ordered motifs such as helical or beta sheet domains. In particular, this review describes approaches that harness the synergistic interplay between order‐promoting and thermoresponsive building blocks to design hybrid biomaterials, resulting in well‐structured, stimuli‐responsive supramolecular materials ordered on the nanoscale.

A new supramolecular tecton: the crucial impact of the polycation charge and geometry of H-bonds on the structure and properties of halometallates in the solid state
A new supramolecular tecton is designed that has the unique potential of assembling well-ordered supramolecular complexes by forming five directional hydrogen bonds at a time. It ensures an ordered distribution of inorganic halometallate anions.

The structure of a trinuclear zinc complex, hexakis(μ 2 -2-anilinobenzoato)diaquatrizinc(II), [Zn 2 (C 13 H 10 NO 2 ) 6 (H 2 O) 2 ] or (NPA) 6 Zn 3 (H 2 O) 2 (NPA is 2-anilinobenzoate or N -phenylanthranilate), is reported. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P -1 and the central Zn II atom is located on an inversion center. The NPA ligand is found to coordinate via the carboxylate O atoms with unique C—O bond lengths that support an unequal distribution of resonance over the carboxylate fragment. The axial H 2 O ligands form hydrogen bonds with neighboring molecules that stabilize the supramolecular system in rigid straight chains, with an angle of 180° along the c axis. π stacking is the primary stabilization along the a and b axes, resulting in a highly ordered supramolecular structure. Docking studies show that this unique supramolecular structure of a trinuclear zinc complex has potential for binding to the main protease (M pro ) in SARS-CoV-2 in a different location from Remdesivir, but with a similar binding strength.more » « less

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) assemblies of water‐soluble block copolymers have been limited by a dearth of systematic studies that relate polymer structure to pathway mechanism and supramolecular morphology. Here, we employ sequence‐defined triblock DNA amphiphiles for the supramolecular polymerization of free‐standing DNA nanosheets in water. Our systematic modulation of amphiphile sequence shows the alkyl chain core forming a cell membrane‐like structure and the distal π‐stacking chromophore block folding back to interact with the hydrophilic DNA block on the nanosheet surface. This interaction is crucial to sheet formation, marked by a chiral “signature”, and sensitive to DNA sequence, where nanosheets form with a mixed sequence, but not with a homogeneous poly(thymine) sequence. This work opens the possibility of forming well‐ordered, bilayer‐like assemblies using a single DNA amphiphile for applications in cell sensing, nucleic acid therapeutic delivery and enzyme arrays.more » « less

Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit reversible macroscopic shape changes in response to a temperature change. Mechanistically, the thermomechanical response of LCEs is associated with the thermotropic nature of the liquid crystalline units (i.e., mesogens) in the polymer network. Upon heating, the mesogen‐mesogen interaction in the LCE is disrupted, which transitions the organization of the polymer network from an ordered to a disordered state. The disruption in order affects the volumetric distribution of macromolecular chains in the polymer network and results in a large directional contraction along the alignment axis. Prior reports detail that the magnitude of actuation depends strongly on the connectivity of LC mesogens (i.e., main‐chain or pendant) within the network. In this study, pendant end‐on mesogens are introduced into a primarily main‐chain supramolecular LCE composition to further reduce crosslink density while preserving overall LC concentration. The introduction of pendant end‐on mesogens to supramolecular LCE compositions further improves thermomechanical properties by enhancing strain‐temperature coupling and reducing actuation temperatures. By systematically varying the concentrations of end‐on and supramolecular mesogens, direct relationships are established between mesogen composition, polymer architecture, and the resulting thermomechanical performance of LCEs.more » « less

Abstract Inspired by protein polymerizations, much progress has been made in making “polymer‐like” supramolecular structures from small synthetic subunits through non‐covalent bonds. A few regulation mechanisms have also been explored in synthetic platforms to create supramolecular polymers and materials with dynamic properties. Herein, a type of reactive regulator that facilitates the dimerization of the monomer precursors through dynamic bonds to trigger the supramolecular assembly from small molecules in an aqueous solution is described. The supramolecular structures are crystalline in nature and the reaction coupled assembly strategy can be extended to a supramolecular assembly of aromatic amide derivatives formed in‐situ. The method may be instructive for the development of supramolecular nanocrystalline materials with desired physical properties.more » « less
