“…Importantly, while not evident in our current system, TPPS 4 peptide complexes have been shown to form H-aggregates under certain conditions and would also potentially impact future designs. [81] The key interest in these larger scale aggregates is their expected potential for integrating TPPS 4 into bioelectronic and photovoltaic devices. Translating the J-aggregate TPPS 4 structures into functional materials has also been demonstrated as a viable pathway.…”

Peptide‐assistedsupramolecular polymerization of the anionic porphyrinmeso‐tetra(4‐sulfonatophenyl)porphine

Electronics made from biological materials are desirable for use in medical devices, biosensors, and soft robotics because they have properties inaccessible to current inorganic technologies. Here, a series of cationic peptides were developed to selfassemble with the anionic porphyrin meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS 4 ) into supramolecular light-harvesting wires known as J-aggregates were developed. In addition to quantifying the binding events between each peptide and TPPS 4 , we found co-incubation with mixed peptides allowed TPPS 4 to bridge two different peptides at their terminal porphyrin-binding regions. The J-aggregates formed on macroscopic scale in near quantitative yield within $3 h and readily interconverted with the soluble monomers upon cycling the pH; to our knowledge, this is the first report of a peptide-porphyrin system with such properties. This work has practical and conceptual relevance to the development of new bioelectronic materials.

Peptide-Tetrapyrrole Supramolecular Self-Assemblies: State of the Art

The covalent and noncovalent association of self-assembling peptides and tetrapyrroles was explored as a way to generate systems that mimic Nature’s functional supramolecular structures. Different types of peptides spontaneously assemble with porphyrins, phthalocyanines, or corroles to give long-range ordered architectures, whose structure is determined by the features of both components. The regular morphology and ordered molecular arrangement of these systems enhance the photochemical properties of embedded chromophores, allowing applications as photo-catalysts, antennas for dye-sensitized solar cells, biosensors, and agents for light-triggered therapies. Chemical modifications of peptide and tetrapyrrole structures and control over the assembly process can steer the organization and influence the properties of the resulting system. Here we provide a review of the field, focusing on the assemblies obtained from different classes of self-assembling peptides with tetrapyrroles, their morphologies and their applications as innovative functional materials.

“…Inspired by natural photosynthesis, artificial light systems consisting of photosensitizers and biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and DNA have received extensive attention in recent years [ 86 ]. Liu et al [ 87 ] used electrostatic force to adsorb tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS) molecules on the surface of 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-ʟ-lysine (Fmoc-ʟ-Lys) self-assembled nanofibers such that the nanofibers were assembled into sea-urchin-like microspheres.…”

Biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, can be self-assembled. They are widely distributed, easy to obtain, and biocompatible. However, the self-assembly of proteins and peptides has disadvantages, such as difficulty in obtaining high quantities of materials, high cost, polydispersity, and purification limitations. The difficulties in using proteins and peptides as functional materials make it more complicate to arrange assembled nanostructures at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Amino acids, as the smallest constituent of proteins and the smallest constituent in the bottom-up approach, are the smallest building blocks that can be self-assembled. The self-assembly of single amino acids has the advantages of low synthesis cost, simple modeling, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo. In addition, amino acids can be assembled with other components to meet multiple scientific needs. However, using these simple building blocks to design attractive materials remains a challenge due to the simplicity of the amino acids. Most of the review articles about self-assembly focus on large molecules, such as peptides and proteins. The preparation of complicated materials by self-assembly of amino acids has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is of great significance to systematically summarize the literature of amino acid self-assembly. This article reviews the recent advances in amino acid self-assembly regarding amino acid self-assembly, functional amino acid self-assembly, amino acid coordination self-assembly, and amino acid regulatory functional molecule self-assembly.
