We report a short synthetic route for the preparation of a peptidic Au(i)-metalloamphiphile which, in buffered environments of physiological ionic strength, self-assembles into luminescent micellar nanostructures of 14 nm in diameter. This journal is

Self-assembly processes guide disordered molecules or particles into long-range organized structures due to specific supramolecular interactions among the building entities. Herein, we report a unique evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) strategy for four different silica nanoparticle systems obtained through peptide functionalization of the particle surface. First, covalent peptide-silica coupling was investigated in detail, starting with the grafting of a single amino acid (L-serine) and expanded to specific small peptides (up to four amino acids) and transferred to different particle types (MCM-48-type MSNs, solid nanoparticles, and newly developed virus-like nanoparticles). These materials were investigated regarding their ability to undergo EISA, which was shown to be independent of particle type and amount of peptide anchored to their surface. This EISA-based approach provides new possibilities for the design of future advanced drug delivery systems, engineered hierarchical sorbents, and nanocatalyst assemblies.
Tuning the mechanistic pathways of peptide self-assembly by aromatic interactions

Herein, we have unravelled the key influence of aromatic interactions on the mechanistic pathways of peptide self-assembly by introducing suitable chromophores (pyrenevs.naphthalene). Although both self-assembled peptides are indistinguishable in their mo
