Article Abstract
Peptide-metal-organic framework (Pep-MOF) motors, whose motions are driven by anisotropic surface tension gradients created via peptide self-assembly around frameworks, can rotate microscopic rotors and magnets fast enough to generate an electric power of 0.1 μW. A new rigid Pep-MOF motor can be recycled by refilling the peptide fuel into the nanopores of the MOF.

Antibody conjugates play a central role across multiple healthcare sectors with a prime example being antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Although widely used lysine and hinge cysteine conjugation methods yield products, the lack of site-specificity and spatial control along with the highly heterogeneous composition are significant limitations. We describe a facile supramolecular assembly method based on heterodimer coiled-coil formation for site-specific antibody conjugation.

Understanding the mechanism of self-assembly driven by non-covalent interactions is crucial for designing supramolecular materials with desired properties. Here we investigate the self-assembly of aromatic peptide amphiphiles, Fmoc-LQG and Fmoc-LQG using a combination of spectroscopic, transmission electron and superresolution optical microscopy techniques. Our results show that Fmoc-LQG leads to concentration-dependent assembly, forming fibrous assemblies at low concentrations and supramolecular droplets via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) at higher concentrations.

The amplification of MET is a major cause of acquired resistance to targeted therapy in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only to be temporarily restrained by the partial efficacy of MET inhibitors. This study reveals that the MET inhibitor has unexpectedly limited efficacy due to amplified MET triggering a strong positive feedback loop in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, allowing optimal functionality even when the MET pathway is suppressed again. To test this conjecture and specifically target the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, a cleverly designed Wnt condensative pro drug called WntSI is developed using reversible supramolecular self-assembly driven by liquidliquid phase separation (LLPS).

Understanding how life's essential homochiral biopolymers arose from racemic precursors is a challenging quest. Herein, we present a groundbreaking approach involving hierarchical chiral assembly-driven stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of ε-benzyloxycarbonyl-l/d-lysine -carboxyanhydrides assisted by ultrasonication in an aqueous medium. This method enabled a narrow dispersity within a few minutes and the achievement of high molecular weight for polypeptides, employing a living polymerization mechanism.

Polythiophene (PT) is an important conducting polymer for its outstanding optoelectronic properties. Here, we delineate the self-assembly-driven optoelectronic properties of PT-peptide and PT-polymer conjugates, taking examples from recent literature reports. PT-peptide conjugates made by both covalent and noncovalent approaches are discussed.
