A defining characteristic of nearly all catalytically functional MOFs is uniform, molecular-
scale porosity. MOF pores, linkers and nodes that define them, help regulate reactant and …

Histidine, a versatile proteinogenic amino acid, plays a broad range of roles in all living
organisms and behaves as a key mediator of the interactions of biomolecules with inorganic …

The apparent piezoelectricity of biological materials is not yet fully understood at the
molecular level. In particular, dynamic noncovalent interactions, such as host–guest binding …

Gene therapy holds great promise as a biomedicine for treating cancer, viral infection, and
recessive gene disorders, while genetic detection has been used for disease diagnosis and …

The exploration of chiral crystalline porous materials, such as metal–organic complexes
(MOCs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), has been one of the most exciting recent …

Interest in peptide‐based supramolecular materials has grown extensively since the 1980s
and the application of computational methods has paralleled this. These methods contribute …

Though thiols are exceptionally versatile, their high reactivity has also hindered the
synthesis and characterization of well-defined thiol-containing porous materials. Leveraging …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), combining photosensitizers (PSs) and excitation light at a
specific wavelength to produce toxic reactive oxygen species, has been a novel and …

Flexible and biocompatible metal peptide frameworks (MPFs) derived from short and ultra‐
short peptides have been explored for the storage of greenhouse gases, molecular …

The evolution of proteins from simpler, self-assembled peptides provides a powerful
blueprint for the design of complex synthetic materials. Previously, peptide–metal …
