Abstract
Self-organization of the ordered nano-structures composed of amphiphilic polypeptides is focused in this review. Two-dimensional arrangement of rod-like block type copolypeptides at interface has been investigated by Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) method. A diblock helical copolypeptide formed stripe pattern in the LB film based on nano-phase separation. In the case of triblock helical copolypeptide, more sophisticated nano-stripe pattern was produced. The triblock copolypeptide LB film was applied as a nano-template, i.e., iron nano-particles fabricated their joined nano-wire reflecting the lane-like pattern in the LB film.LB films of monodispersed triblock copolypeptides having leucine zipper helices at the termini (helix–loop–helix type) with designed sequence indicated not only a sophisticated nano-stripe pattern over a wide range but also a quantitative increase in the stripe interval depending on the size of loop segment. It was also shown that the mixed LB film consisting of the helix–loop–helix copolypeptide and leucine zipper helical polypeptide provided a unique phase separated structure, having a uniform rectangular-like domain. Furthermore, it was reported that the monodispersed amphiphilic β-sheet peptide formed three-dimensionally self-organized nano-fiber scaffold, yielding a transparent hydrogel containing extremely higher water content (>99.5%).The well-defined amphiphilic polypeptides with designed sequence and conformation emerging into various intra- and inter-molecular interactions into self-assembled nano-organization will likely have great impact on the future of materials. These hierarchical ordering structures including location and arrangement of functional units on nanometer-scale will be developed for a wide range of application as a nano-template.
