One-pot crystalline ZnO nanorod growth in mineralizing peptide gels.

ABSTRACT: A new biomimetic approach for the one-pot synthesis of ZnO nanorods at neutral pH and room temperature is introduced; self-assembly of the ZnO-mineralzing peptides (CN111, PAGLQVGFAVEV-GGGSC) with Zn ions as bundles of nanofibers in the gel form leads to the growth of ZnO nanorod (NRD) inside the gel. This new nanomaterial synthesis may open a new strategy by using the catalytic peptide gels as nanomaterial reactors.

One-pot universal initiation-growth methods from a liquid crystalline block copolymer.

Project description:The construction of hierarchical nanostructures with precise morphological and dimensional control has been one of the ultimate goals of contemporary materials science and chemistry, and the emulation of tailor-made nanoscale superstructures realized in the nature, using artificial building blocks, poses outstanding challenges. Herein we report a one-pot strategy to precisely synthesize hierarchical nanostructures through an in-situ initiation-growth process from a liquid crystalline block copolymer. The assembly process, analogous to living chain polymerization, can be triggered by small-molecule, macromolecule or even nanoobject initiators to produce various hierarchical superstructures with highly uniform morphologies and finely tunable dimensions. Because of the high degree of controllability and predictability, this assembly strategy opens the avenue to the design and construction of hierarchical structures with broad utility and accessibility.

One-Pot Synthesis of Oxidation-Sensitive Supramolecular Gels and Vesicles.

Project description:Polypeptide-based nanoparticles offer unique advantages from a nanomedicine perspective such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stimuli-responsive properties to (patho)physiological conditions. Conventionally, self-assembled polypeptide nanostructures are prepared by first synthesizing their constituent amphiphilic polypeptides followed by postpolymerization self-assembly. Herein, we describe the one-pot synthesis of oxidation-sensitive supramolecular micelles and vesicles. This was achieved by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of the N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) precursor of methionine using poly(ethylene oxide) as a stabilizing and hydrophilic block in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). By adjusting the hydrophobic block length and concentration, we obtained a range of morphologies from spherical to wormlike micelles, to vesicles. Remarkably, the secondary structure of polypeptides greatly influenced the final morphology of the assemblies. Surprisingly, wormlike micellar morphologies were obtained for a wide range of methionine block lengths and solid contents, with spherical micelles restricted to very short hydrophobic lengths. Wormlike micelles further assembled into oxidation-sensitive, self-standing gels in the reaction pot. Both vesicles and wormlike micelles obtained using this method demonstrated to degrade under controlled oxidant conditions, which would expand their biomedical applications such as in sustained drug release or as cellular scaffolds in tissue engineering.

Thiocholine-Mediated One-Pot Peptide Ligation and Desulfurization.

Project description:Thiol catalysts are essential in native chemical ligation (NCL) to increase the reaction efficiency. In this paper, we report the use of thiocholine in chemical protein synthesis, including NCL-based peptide ligation and metal-free desulfurization. Evaluation of thiocholine peptide thioester in terms of NCL and hydrolysis kinetics revealed its practical utility, which was comparable to that of other alkyl thioesters. Importantly, thiocholine showed better reactivity as a thiol additive in desulfurization, which is often used in chemical protein synthesis to convert Cys residues to more abundant Ala residues. Finally, we achieved chemical synthesis of two differently methylated histone H3 proteins via one-pot NCL and desulfurization with thiocholine.

Recyclable Graphene Sheets as a Growth Template for Crystalline ZnO Nanowires.

Project description:Recent advances in nanoscience have opened ways of recycling substrates for nanomaterial growth. Novel materials, such as atomically thin materials, are highly desirable for the recycling substrates. In this work, we report recycling of monolayer graphene as a growth template for synthesis of single crystalline ZnO nanowires. Selective nucleation of ZnO nanowires on graphene was elucidated by scanning electron microscopy and density functional theory calculation. Growth and subsequent separation of ZnO nanowires was repeated up to seven times on the same monolayer graphene film. Raman analyses were also performed to investigate the quality of graphene structure along the recycling processes. The chemical robustness of graphene enables the repetitive ZnO nanowire growth without noticeable degradation of the graphene quality. This work presents a route for graphene as a multifunctional growth template for diverse nanomaterials such as nanocrystals, aligned nanowires, other two-dimensional materials, and semiconductor thin films.

NH4F-assisted one-pot solution synthesis of hexagonal ZnO microdiscs for efficient ultraviolet photodetection.

Project description:One-pot solution method to grow large hexagonal ZnO microdiscs with the aid of ammonium fluoride (NH4F) mineralizer has been realized. The size, morphology, crystallinity and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO microdiscs can be efficiently modulated by the concentration of NH4F. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses illustrate that hexagonal ZnO microdiscs achieved at 0.03 M NH4F concentration have larger disc size and narrower full-width value at half maximum of (002) peak. It implies better crystal quality compared with those from other additive concentrations. Photoluminescence results also demonstrate the same trend. These results indicate that with proper addition of NH4F, the crystal quality of ZnO microdiscs has been improved and defects have been suppressed. Furthermore, a UV photodetector has been fabricated by simply transferring the ZnO microdiscs grown with 0.03 M NH4F onto a p-type silicon substrate. The device exhibits photosensitive behaviour at 365 nm UV light illuminating when -0.6 V is applied. The response time as well as recovery time is less than 0.1 s. The relatively large photoresponsivity of 1.19 A W-1 with power consumption less than 10 nW makes it possible in application field of highly efficient low power consumption UV detection.

Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis via One-Pot Nanostar Sieving (PEPSTAR).

Project description:Herein, a one-pot liquid phase peptide synthesis featuring iterative addition of amino acids to a "nanostar" support, with organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) for isolation of the growing peptide after each synthesis cycle is reported. A cycle consists of coupling, Fmoc removal, then sieving out of the reaction by-products via nanofiltration in a reactor-separator, or synthesizer apparatus where no phase or material transfers are required between cycles. The three-armed and monodisperse nanostar facilitates both efficient nanofiltration and real-time reaction monitoring of each process cycle. This enabled the synthesis of peptides more efficiently while retaining the full benefits of liquid phase synthesis. PEPSTAR was validated initially with the synthesis of enkephalin-like model penta- and decapeptides, then octreotate amide and finally octreotate. The crude purities compared favorably to vendor produced samples from solid phase synthesis.

Nanostructured gold microelectrodes for SERS and EIS measurements by incorporating ZnO nanorod growth with electroplating.

Project description:In this paper, a fine gold nanostructure synthesized on selective planar microelectrodes in micro-chip is realized by using an advanced hybrid fabrication approach incorporating growth of nanorods (NRs) with gold electroplating. By this developed nanostructure, integration of in-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement for label-free, nondestructive, real-time and rapid monitoring on a single cell has been achieved. Moreover, parameters of Au nanostructures such as size of nanoholes/nanogaps can be controllably adjusted in the fabrication. We have demonstrated a SERS enhancement factor of up to ~2.24 × 10(6) and double-layer impedance decrease ratio of 90% ~ 95% at low frequency range below 200 kHz by using nanostructured microelectrodes. SERS detection and in-situ EIS measurement of a trapped single cell by using planar microelectrodes are realized to demonstrate the compatibility, multi-functions, high-sensitivity and simplicity of the micro-chip system. This dual function platform integrating SERS and EIS is of great significance in biological, biochemical and biomedical applications.

One-pot HTST synthesis of responsive fluorescent ZnO@apo-enzyme composite microgels for intracellular glucometry.

Project description:Responsive fluorescent microgels, that can selectively, reversibly, and rapidly convert the fluctuation in intracellular glucose level into fluorescence signal, have the potential use for intracellular glucometry to promote the understanding of physiology. Herein, we report one-pot synthesis of such a responsive fluorescent composite microgels, which is made of a representative apo-enzyme, apo-glucose oxidase (apo-GOx), interpenetrated in a composite gel network that is comprised of ZnO quantum dots covalently bonded onto crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate. The key of this one-pot synthesis is applying a high-temperature short-time heating (HTST) method, so that the naturally dynamic profile of apo-GOx can be maintained and harnessed on the composite microgels to allow the highly selective response to glucose over a glucose concentration range of 0-20 mM. While the composite microgels can undergo volume phase transitions and convert both an increase and a decrease in glucose concentration into fluorescence signal shortly (<1 s), the changes in average hydrodynamic diameter and fluorescence of the composite microgels can be fully reversible even after twenty cycles of adding/removing glucose, indicating a reversible and rapid time response to the glucose concentration variations. With the composite microgels as biosensors, the fluorescence of the composite microgels embedded in the model cancer cells B16F10 can be modulated in response to intracellular glucose level variations, which are derived from a change in glucose concentration in the culture medium by an external supply, or that can be triggered by biochemical reactions (with the β-galactosidase catalysed hydrolysis of lactose as a model reaction for achieving increased glucose levels, and the GOx catalysed oxidation of glucose for achieving decreased glucose levels).
