Natural biomolecular systems have evolved to form a rich variety of supramolecular
materials and machinery fundamental to cellular function. The assembly of these structures …

In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

The primary sequence of a biopolymer encodes the essential information for folding,
permitting to carry out sophisticated functions. Inspired by natural biopolymers, peptide and …

Skeletal or concave polyhedral crystals appear in a variety of synthetic processes and
natural environments. However, their morphology, size, and orientation are difficult to control …

Natural biopolymers have inspired the development of synthetic analogues that can adopt
defined conformations and assemble into 3D architectures. These compounds are mainly …

In bionanotechnology, the field of creating functional materials consisting of bio-inspired
molecules, the function and shape of a nanostructure only appear through the assembly of …

This review discusses recent advances concerning morphologies and functions obtained
from single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs). SCNPs are unimolecular, soft nano-objects …

The fabrication and application of supramolecular gels have achieved great progress in the
past few decades. Although several reviews and books have well summarized the design …

Two or more anions constrained in close proximity within a single pocket are found in a
number of natural systems but are a less common motif in artificial systems. This review …

The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with
stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet …
