Title: 2D Crystal Engineering of Nanosheets Assembled from Helical Peptide Building Blocks

Abstract

The successful integration of 2D nanomaterials into functional devices hinges on developing fabrication methods that afford hierarchical control across length scales of the entire assembly. We demonstrate structural control over a class of crystalline 2D nanosheets assembled from collagen triple helices. By lengthening the triple helix unit through sequential additions of Pro-Hyp-Gly triads, we achieved sub-angstrom tuning over the 2D lattice. These subtle changes influence the overall nanosheet size, which can be adjusted across the mesoscale size regime. The internal structure was observed by cryo-TEM with direct electron detection, which provides realspace high-resolution images, in which individual triple helices comprising the lattice can be clearly discerned. These results establish a general strategy for tuning the structural hierarchy of 2D nanomaterials that employ rigid, cylindrical structural units.

Figure 1 Figure 1: (a) 2D assemblies constructed from rigid, helical peptide building blocks. (b) Amino acid sequence of CMPs comprise positively charged, neutral, and negatively charged triads. Their folding into collagen triple helices gives rise to the triple helix building unit. Antiparallel packing of triple helices into a tetragonal 2D latticemore » is facilitated via alignment of complementary charge interactions between adjacent triple helices. (c) 4S(X) peptide series with varying number, Z, of Pro-Hyp-Gly triads incorporated into the central block (amp = 4S-aminoproline). We hypothesize that incremental changes to CMP length may offer hierarchical control over the assembly parameters.« less
