Helical Toroids Self-Assembled from a Binary System of Polypeptide Homopolymer and its Block Copolymer

Toroids and helices are fundamental geometrical structures in nature. Polymers can self-assemble into various nanostructures, including both toroids and helices; however, nanostructures combining toroidal and helical morphologies (that is, helical toroids) are rarely observed. A binary system is reported containing polypeptide homopolymer and its block copolymer, which can hierarchically self-assemble into uniform helical nanotoroids in solution. The formation of the helical toroids is a successive two-step process. First, the homopolymers aggregate into fibrils and convolve into toroids, thereby resembling the toroidal condensation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chains. Second, the block copolymers self-assemble on the homopolymer toroids and result in helical surface patterns. Additionally, the chirality of the surface helical patterns can be varied by the chirality of the polypeptide block copolymers.

Polythiophene-block-poly(phenyl isocyanide) copolymers: One-pot synthesis,properties and applications

Conjugated block copolymers have gained increasing interests in recent years. Development of a novel method for facile synthesis of conjugated block copolymers with desired structures and functions is greatly desired. In this mini review, we summarized the recent advances in one-pot synthesis of conjugated block copolymers containing π-conjugated polythiophene and helical polyisocyanide segments by using a nickel(Ⅱ) complex as single catalyst. The sequential living polymerization of the two monomers proceeded in a controlled manner, affording expected block copolymers in high yields with controlled molecular weights(Mns) and narrow molecular weight distributions(Mw/Mns). By using this method, a family of block copolymers with expected structure and tunable compositions can be facilely prepared. Introducing functional groups onto the pendant, these block copolymers can exhibit interesting self-assembly property, tunable light emission and multi-responsiveness.

Improvement of Synthetic Vectors for Gene Therapy Using Ring-Opening Cationic Polymerization

For efficirent gene transfer, DNA has to be associated with a carrier which can be either of biological (i.e. recombinant viruses) or synthetic origin. In the domain of polymeric synthetic vectors two general types can be envisaged, namely positive polyelectrolytes or neutral amphiphilic block copolymers. Both types can be synthesized by ring-opening cationic polymerization. Several examples show that the versatility of this polymerization technique can be used for the design of structures which after transfection studies, either in vitro or in vivo, can allow conclusions on the most important parameters which govern transfection efficacy. The present study allowed to conclude on the importance of physico-chemical characteristics of these vectors, i.e. the linear macrostructure for the positive polyelectrolytes, and the amphiphilic nature for the neutral block copolymers.     

生物相容性BAB型两亲嵌段共聚物的合成及其自组装

Lys(z)-NCA was synthesized in the presence of triphosgene, amphiphilic triblock copolymers poly(N^c-CBZ-Lysine)-PEG-poly(N^c-CBZ-Lysine) were synthesized in DMF using amino-end ended PEG as initiator with the mechanism of anion ring opening polymerization. The structures of block copolymers were characterized by IR, ^1H-NMR,GPC and DSC. The results showed triblock copolymers with expected structure and low polydispersity in molecular weight could be synthesized by this method. At the same time, the self-assembling behaviors of block copolymer were investigated by TEM. A novel helical aggregates were found to be formed in DMF. Because of biocompatibility of two components of block copolymers, these block copolymers have potential applications in the field of biomaterials.     

Liquid-crystalline symmetric triblock copolymers

Symmetric fully liquid-crystalline triblock copolymers of various structures containing optically active mesogenic groups are for the first time synthesized via pseudoliving radical reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization. Their phase behavior and physicochemical and optical properties are studied. It is shown that, depending on composition, at low temperatures block copolymers can form at temperatures phase-separated structures caused by microsegregation of blocks of different chemical natures and that, with an increase in temperature, these structures can mix to form a cholesteric mesophase characterized by a helical supramolecular structure. A model illustrating the molecular packing of block copolymers with a phase-separated lamellar structure is advanced. The effect of the molecular structure of the block copolymers on their optical properties is discussed.     

Polymer-DNA hybrids as electrochemical probes for the detection of DNA

The syntheses of several norbornene block copolymers containing oligonucleotide and ferrocenyl side chains and their use in the electrochemical detection of DNA are described. Two kinds of DNA-containing block copolymers with either ferrocenyl or dibromoferrocenyl groups were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Based on these two distinct ferrocene derivatives, a triblock copolymer labeling strategy was developed. With this strategy, the identity of DNA target can be determined by the E1/2s of the ferrocenyl moieties and the ratio of peak currents. These polymers exhibit predictable and tailorable electrochemical properties, high DNA duplex stability, and unusually sharp melting transitions, which are highly desirable characteristics for DNA detection applications. Significantly, single-base mismatches could be easily detected using two distinct block copolymers as dual-channel detection probes in an electrochemical DNA detection format.
