Inspired by peptide- and protein-controlled formation of hierarchical inorganic nanostructures in nature, herein we report the design of sequence-defined peptoids for biomimetic synthesis of flower-like gold nanosuperstruc-tures. We demonstrate that the peptoid-induced morphosyn-thesis of gold nanoflowers is sequence-dependent. By varying the hydrophobicity, number of carboxylate and amino groups, and side-chain positions of peptoids, we develop a rule of thumb for designing peptoids that yield gold nanoflowers. Through a combination of hyperspectral UV-Vis absorption micro-spectroscopy (H-UVVIS-AMS) and three-photon photoemission electron microscopy (TP-PEEM), we measured the plasmonic properties of individual nanoflowers. Whereas H-UVVIS-AMS experiments revealed well-defined plasmon resonances centered at ~528 nm, TP-PEEM measurements showed an unprecedented plasmonic enhancement as high as 105 for a single nanoflower. A com-bination of the unique plasmonic property and the high sta-bility endows the peptoid-engineered nanoflowers with po-tential applications in chemical and biological imaging.
