Amphiphilic dimeric cyanostilbenes with two donor-acceptor moieties connected through variable aliphatic linkers displayed aggregation in aqueous media to produce red emissive nano-assemblies. In the presence of anionic biopolymers such as ctDNA and heparin, they formed electrostatically driven co-assemblies with enhanced luminescence. Moreover, due to the chiral nature of the bio-templates DNA and heparin, the co-assemblies demonstrated induced chirality features.

Biomineralization of a porous metal-organic framework (MOF) shell onto biomacromolecule templates is a burgeoning strategy to construct robust biocatalysts. However, it strongly relies on the interfacial interaction between MOF precursors and enzyme surface, significantly limiting the generalization of this nanotechnology. Herein, we identify polymers that are well-suited for deposition onto target biomacromolecules supramolecular interactions and introduce a polymer deposition-mediated surface-charge reformation strategy to facilitate the biomineralization of porous MOFs, including ZIF-8, ZIF-90, and ZIF-zni onto enzymes.

Article Synopsis
  • Proteins inside living organisms can self-assemble into various 3D structures that serve specific functions, which can be used to create new materials through a process called biotemplating, though traditional methods face challenges in adaptability and functionality.* -
  • The study introduces CamBio, a new integrated biotemplating platform that labels target protein structures with antibodies and grows functional materials, allowing for better control over the nanostructure's properties and designed for advanced applications like surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).* -
  • CamBio not only generates plasmonic nanostructures for precise measurements but also enhances performance through iterative antibody labeling strategies, and demonstrates its practical applications with substrates made from cells and whole meat, which
