Mechanism of N-octadecyl-N′-maleoyl-L-phenylalanine self-assembled into supramolecular structures

N-Octadecyl-N1-maleoyl-L-phenylalanine （ODMA-L-Phe） was synthesized through the condensation, deprotection and acid- ylation reaction of BOC-L-phenylalanine, octadecylamine and maleic anhydride. ODMA-L-Phe can self-assemble in some organic solvents and turned them into thermally reversible physical supramolecular organogels. The morphology of ODMA-L-Phe aggregates was characterized by polarized optical microscopy （POM） and field emission scanning electron microscope （FE-SEM）. The aggregates of ODMA-L-Phe were needle-like fibrils with diameters of approximately 100-200 nm. The mechanism of ODMA- L-Phe self-assembly in organic solvents was investigated using XH NMR and circular dichroism （CD）. The results indicated that hydrogen bonding was one of the main driving forces for the self-assembly of ODMA-L-Phe.

Biomedical overview of melanin.2.Updating molecular modeling,synthesis mechanism,and supramolecular properties regarding melanoma therapy

Melanins represent one of the most ancient and important group of natural macromolecular pigments.They have multiple biological roles in almost all organisms across the Phyla,examples being photoprotection,anti-oxidative action,radical scavenger activity,and heavy metal removal.From the biomedical point of view,melanocytes are involved in the origin of melanoma tumors,and the main therapeutic advances for their treatment have been revised in Part 1 of this review.The chemical structure of eumelanin is a biological concern of great importance,and therefore,exploring theoretical molecular models and synthesis mechanisms will be here described,as well as molecular orbital features and supramolecular organization,which are responsible for the key properties that make these biological pigments so important,and so fascinating.Ultimately,this updated overview is devoted to describe present structural models and physico-chemical characteristics of eumelanin,in order to explain and utilize melanin properties on which new photothermal and ultrasonic protocols for melanoma treatment can be devised and applied.

Regulating Mechanical Properties of Polymer-Supramolecular Double-Network Hydrogel by Supramolecular Self-assembling Structures

Main observation and conclusion Polymer-supramolecular double-network hydrogels(PS-DN hydrogels)often show much improved recovery rates than conventional double-network hydrogels because of the fast self-assembling properties,making them attractive candidates for tissue engineering and flexible electronics.However,as the supramolecular network is dynamic and susceptible to break under low strains,the overall mechanical properties of PS-DN hydrogels are still limited.Here,we report the mechanical properties for PS-DN hydrogels can be significantly improved by tuning the supramolecular network structures.A single amino acid change of the self-assembling peptide can tune the assembled structures from nanofiber to nanoribbon.Such a microscopic structural change can greatly increase the Young's modulus(107.4 kPa),fracture stress(0.48 MPa),and toughness(0.38 MJ·m^(–3))of the PS-DN hydrogels.Moreover,the structural change also leads to slightly faster recovery rates(<1 s).We propose that such dramatically different mechanical properties can be understood by the impact of individual peptide rupture events on the overall network connectivity in the two scenarios.Our study may provide new inspirations for combining high mechanical strength and fast recovery in double network hydrogels by tuning the supramolecular network structures.
