Abstract |
Two-dimensional nanoscale assemblies (nanosheets) represent a promising structural platform to arrange molecular and supramolecular substrates with precision for integration into devices. This nanoarchitectonic approach has gained significant traction over the last decade, as a general concept to guide the fabrication of functional nanoscale devices. Sequence-specific biomolecules, e.g., peptides and proteins, may be considered excellent substrates for the fabrication of two-dimensional nanoarchitectonics. Molecular level instructions can be encoded within the sequence of monomers, which allows for control over supramolecular structure if suitable design principles could be elaborated. Due to the complexity of interactions between protomers, the development of principles aimed toward rational design of peptide and protein nanosheets is at a nascent stage. This review discusses the known two-dimensional peptide and protein assemblies to further our understanding of how to control the arrangement of molecules in two-dimensions. |
