The construction of chiral materials with precise chirality is of vital importance in biology and chemistry. Despite numerous chiral materials having been fabricated, it still remains a fundamental challenge to understand the chiral propensity with subtle changes of building blocks.
Dynamic transitions of supramolecular assemblies between lower-order structures and higher-order superhelical structures (e.g., double-helical DNA, helical biopolymers) are of vital importance in many physiological processes, but still remain a great challenge to be realized in artificially assembled systems.
The physiological chirality of extracellular environments is substantially affected by pathological diseases. However, how this stereochemical variation drives host immunity remains poorly understood.
The regulation of natural helical nanostructures is principally supported and actuated by hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) formed from hydrogen-bonding groups (peptide bonds and base pairs) to realize biological activities and specific biofunctional transformations.
