Imaging cellular distribution of fluorescent supramolecular nanofibers

In this study, we used the 4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) as an aromatic capping group for a peptide to construct the supramolecular nanofibers. Taking the advantage of the fluorescence property of NBD, we could directly observe the cellular distribution of the self-assembled nanofibers. We found that the distributions of the nanofibers of NBD-FFETIGGY are different in four mammalian cells and two plant cells. The nanofibers are mainly located at the surface of two mammalian cells and one plant cell, while in the intracellular space of other cells. Different distributions of nanofibers lead to different protein binding patterns of the nanofibers in two different cell lines. We believe that a useful and versatile platform has been offered to the image cellular distribution of nanofibers, which can provide useful information to the biological functions of the self-assembled nanostructures.     

Assembly of peptide–thiophene conjugates: the influence of peptide content and location

Biomolecule-directed self-assembly of π-conjugated oligomers has attracted great attention in the past decade. In this contribution, two conjugates composed of quaterthiophene and tetrapeptide (Gly-Val-Gly-Val) were synthesised, namely peptide–thiophene–peptide (PTP) and thiophene–peptide–thiophene (TPT), to investigate the influence of peptide content ratio and its location in the molecular structures on the nanostructures and properties of the assemblies. Both conjugates formed organogels consisting of left-handed twisted nanostructures; however, anti-parallel β-sheets were observed in PTP while parallel β-sheets were obtained for TPT, although in both cases oligothiophenes adopted an H-like stacking mode. Obvious solvent-induced supramolecular chirality inversion from the oligothiophene segment was observed for PTP while such phenomenon was not clear for TPT. PTP and TPT gels also showed different stabilities towards temperature increase, as evidenced by variable-temperature circular dichroism study. From the data, it is suggested that the rational design of the location and ratio of peptide plays a key role in constructing materials with determined properties based on peptide–thiophene conjugates.     

Effects of Cr and V impurities on cohesion properties of Pd/TiAl interfaces

First principles calculations reveal that for Pd/TiAl interfaces the substitution of interface Ti atoms with Cr or V atoms is energetically favorable with negative heat of formation, and could bring about a very small increase of interface bond strength, while the interstitial Cr and V atoms should be unfeasible with highly positive heat of formation and would increase the bond lengths of interface Pd–Al and Pd–Ti bonds. Calculations also demonstrate that both Cr and V would induce an increase of interface energy, suggesting that the impurity atoms of Cr or V should be reduced to a minimum level, in order to get a thermally stable Pd/TiAl interface with a longer lifetime. In addition, it is found that the substitution of V at the Pd/TiAl interfaces should be much easier than that of Cr, which is in good agreement with similar experimental observations in the literature.     

Attapulgite grafted with polystyrene via a simultaneous reverse and normal initiation atom transfer radical polymerization

The surface grafting of attapulgite (ATP) with polystyrene (PS) was established via a simultaneous reverse and normal initiation atom transfer radical polymerization (SR&NIATRP). 4‐(chloromethyl)phenyltrimethoxysilane (CMPTMS) chemical bounded on the surface of ATP (ATP‐Cl, Cl‐I) was prepared via one‐step self‐assembly. SR&NI ATRP of styrene was conducted using CuCl₂ complex tris(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)amine (Me₆‐TREN) as the catalytic system, initiated by 2,2‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and ATP‐Cl. FT‐IR, XRD, XPS, TGA and TEM data were consistent with the grafting of benzyl chloride groups and PS chains on ATP surface. The controllability of polymerization was investigated by the kinetics behavior under different molar ratio of AIBN and CuCl₂. The obtained polymer possessed a uniform distribution of molecular weights with a lower polydispersity index of 1.2～1.4. The relationship between polymerization on the surface of ATP and in solution was discussed in detail based on TGA data of hybrid particles and GPC trace of free polymer in solution. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Solid-phase parallel synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole based peptidomimetic library as a potential modulator of protein-protein interactions

Design and solid phase synthesis of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole based peptidomimetic library is presented. Library synthesis starts from the coupling of the thiosemicarbazide resin with Fmoc-protected amino acid following desulfurative cyclization to 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Following substitution of the secondary amine with the 3-nitrobenzoyl functional group and its further reduction were performed. Thus, the functionalization with amino acids could be performed on both sides of the core skeleton. After diversification and cleavage from the resin using TFA: DCM cleavage cocktail, an enantiopure library of compounds was obtained. Further evaluation of physicochemical properties was performed.
