Dynamics in supramolecular nanomaterials

Abstract: The self-assembly of amphiphilic small molecules in water leads to nanostructures with customizable structure-property relationships arising from their tunable chemistries. Characterization of these assemblies is generally limited to their static...

“…The amino acid sequences in proteins that lack a secondary structure show more fluctuations in space than amino acid sequences contained in α-helices or β-sheets. Similarly, the amphiphilic phospholipids in the cell membrane are limited in their lateral diffusion when tightly packed, for example when they are assembled into lipid rafts. The structure, dynamics, and function of those assemblies are influenced by the order within the assemblies: the tighter the packing of the molecules, the less dynamic they are. Likewise, synthetic supramolecular assemblies made from small amphiphiles can show different structures and dynamics depending on the packing of the monomers. Gaining control over the order within supramolecular assemblies will help to gain control over their properties.…”

“…Amphiphilic selfassembly produces internally organized nanostructures with surface presentations, chemistries, and dynamics that are tunable through molecular design. [36][37][38][39][40] Importantly, nanomaterials constructed through the self-assembly of zwitterionic small molecule amphiphiles offer extremely high surface densities of zwitterionic moieties that are resistant to biofouling. To this end, we propose that several criteria should be met to form effective antifouling surface coatings from small molecule supramolecular assemblies: 1) the molecular assemblies should be sufficiently stable to maintain their structure upon drying for application; 2) the nanostructures should take on an appropriate geometry for substrate coating and aspect-ratio to provide dense surface coverage; and 3) the surface should produce a substantial hydration layer that is protective against biofouling.…”
