The Origin Of Life

Movies are the myths of late-20th century western culture. Because of the power of films likeETto capture our imagination, we are more likely than past generations to accept the possibility that life exists elsewhere in our galaxy. Such a myth can be used to sketch the main themes of this chapter, which concern the origin of life on the Earth.

It is still a challenge to find a suitable method to fabricate a well-defined homochiral surface from achiral molecules, and one of the possible methods is to modify surfaces with organic molecular assemblies. Large-area chiral self-assembly nanostructures have been observed at room temperature by depositing ZnPc molecules on a Cu(111) surface. The growth process has been investigated. ZnPc molecules get adsorbed first at the terrace steps, and then extend over the lower terrace until the whole terrace is covered with ZnPc molecules; such growth process would be stopped when the self-assembly nanostructure run into a decorated upper terrace step edge. We found that the terrace steps with specific directions with respect to the close-packed directions of the substrate can induce homochiral self-assembly on the lower terraces. So we can propose a possible way to fabricate a well-defined homochiral surface from achiral organic molecules.

Background: The conjugation of small organic molecules to self-assembling peptides is a versatile tool to decorate nanostructures with original functionalities. Labeling with chromophores or fluorophores, for example, creates optically active fibers with potential interest in photonic devices. Aim and Objective: In this work, we present a rapid and effective labeling procedure for a self-assembling peptide able to form nanofibers. Rapid periodate oxidation of the N-terminal serine residue of the peptide and subsequent conjugation with dansyl moiety generated fluorophore-decorated peptides. Results: Three dansyl-conjugated self-assembling peptides with variable spacer-length were synthesized and characterized and the role of the size of the linker between fluorophore and peptide in self-assembling was investigated. Our results show that a short linker can alter the self-assembly in nanofibers of the peptide. Conclusions: Herein we report on an alternative strategy for creating functionalized nanofibrils, able to expand the toolkit of chemoselective bioconjugation strategies to be used in site-specific decoration of self-assembling peptides.
