ABSTRACTA synthetic strategy to couple selectively an ionic complementary thiol modified octapeptide, that is able to gel at low temperature, to the thermoresponsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) with controlled molecular weight and narrow polydispersity is described. The polymer was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) affording halogen functionalized chain ends. This allowed subsequent coupling to a thiol terminated ionic complementary octapeptide via nucleophile substitution. Results indicated that the peptide was covalently attached to the polymer and that both the coil-globule phase transition of pNIPAAm and the gelation properties of the peptide were retained in the conjugated product. This method provides a versatile route for the synthesis of a range of bioconjugate materials with controlled architecture and dual self-assembling and thermoresponsive behavior.

Self-assembling peptide and peptide conjugates have attracted great attention due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and biofunctionality. This review covers self-assembly of amphiphilic peptides and peptide mimetic materials, as well as their potential applications.

Certain double stranded DNA bacteriophage and viruses are thought to have their DNA organized into large torus shaped structures. Morphologically, these poorly understood biological DNA tertiary structures resemble spermidine-condensed DNA complexes formed in vitro in the total absence of other macromolecules normally synthesized by the pathogens for the purpose of their own DNA packaging. Therefore, we have studied the tertiary structure of these self-assembling torus shaped spermidine- DNA complexes in a series of reports. Using freeze-etch, low Pt-C metal (10-15Å) replicas, we have visualized the microscopic DNA organization of both calf Thymus( CT) and linear 0X-174 RFII DNA toruses. In these structures DNA is circumferentially wound, continuously, around the torus into a semi-crystalline, hexagonal packed array of parallel DNA helix sections.
