The design of chiral synthetic polymers capable of self-assembling in solutions is receiving increasing attention for its biological implications. In this field, polyamidoamino acids (PAACs) are an emerging class of stimuli-responsive bioinspired synthetic polymers obtained by the stepwise polyaddition in pH > 9 aqueous solution of α-amino acids with N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide. The first example of this family, ARGO7, obtained from L- and D-arginine polyaddition, proved capable of self-assembly in aqueous solution into rigid pH dependent conformations. For all ARGO7 isomers, self-diffusion coefficients probed by pulsed-gradient spin-echo nuclear magnetic resonance (PGSE-NMR) reported values between 3 x 10-10 and 9 x 10-11 m2/s and Rh of 0.9 - 2 nm, consistent with compact random coils. It remains to be ascertained if selective chirality driven interactions may arise by mixing the D- or L- form of PAACs with soft chiral surfaces. As an example of the latter, sodium deoxycholate was chosen for its ability to form chiral micelle in aqueous solution, capable of interacting with protein and fatty acids in biological system.
