“…The mixture of the metal precursor and a bola 5 solution produced crystalline metal oxide nanoparticles in the cavity of the doughnut-like aggregate of bola 5 (Figure ). Using this simple active templating method, various metal oxide nanoparticles such as β-Ga 2 O 3 , indium tin oxide (ITO), and zinc tin oxide were synthesized while exhibiting their inherent physical properties. Interestingly, the β-Ga 2 O 3 and ITO nanoparticles grew in the cavity of bola 5 assemblies via an aggregation-driven crystallization mechanism.…”

Bolaamphiphile, which is a class of amphiphilic molecules, has a unique structure of two hydrophilic head groups at the ends of the hydrophobic center. Peptidic bolaamphiphiles that employ peptides or amino acids as their hydrophilic groups exhibit unique biochemical activities when they self-organize into supramolecular structures, which are not observed in a single molecule. The self-assembled peptidic bolaamphiphiles hold considerable promise for imitating proteins with biochemical activities, such as specific affinity toward heterogeneous substances, a catalytic activity similar to a metalloenzyme, physicochemical activity from harmonized amino acid segments, and the capability to encapsulate genes like a viral vector. These diverse activities give rise to large research interest in biomaterials engineering, along with the synthesis and characterization of the assembled structures. This review aims to address the recent progress in the applications of peptidic bolaamphiphile assemblies whose densely packed peptide motifs on their surface and their stacked hydrophobic centers exhibit unique protein-like activity and designer functionality, respectively.
