Controlling Self-Assembly of Co-Polypeptide by Block Ratio and Block Sequence
Polymer（2022）
Univ Elect Sci & Technol China
Abstract
Block ratio and block sequence of polypeptide influenced the self-assembly of copolymer significantly. Tuning self-assembly to form various nanostructures with different properties through molecular design was a rather feasible strategy. Triblock copolymers based on poly(l-alanine) (PA), poly(l-valine) (PV) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) with various block ratio and block sequence were synthesized. The number of amino acid residues was kept at 10. The sol-gel transition behavior, self-assemble nanostructure, secondary structure of the copolymers in aqueous solution were investigated to reveal that PA block between PEG and PV segment interfered the β-sheet structure, resulting in the reduced or increased sol-gel transition temperature or precipitation depended on the block ratio of PA and PV. Shorter PA or PV block displayed more significant influence on sol-gel transition. Interestingly, PV block between PEG and PA segment induced the formation of more stable β-sheet stacking structures, leading to sol-gel transition at higher temperature. PEG dehydration and the enhancement of ordered structure with temperature rising caused the sol-gel transition of these copolymers. We concluded herein that disordered structure in co-polypeptide can enhance thermo-sensitivity.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
