Enzyme Induced Stiffening of Nanoparticle-Hydrogel Composites with Structural Color
Enzyme Initial Red Hydrogel Collapsed Blue Hydrogel
Enzymatic cleavage of the peptide-polymer bonds alters the spacing between particles, changing the color of the hydrogel

Threshold Response Yields Logic Gates
- 70% of cross-links must be cleaved for response
- Incorporate two peptides specific to two different proteases
at 1:1 ratio as cross-links
- Degradation of both is needed for 70% threshold
Ayyub et al. ACS Nano 2015
Breaking of Chemical Bonds Yields Color Change
- Nonspecific peptide was
introduced into the hydrogel
- Breaking 70% of
crosslinks induces blueshift
- Increased
concentration of non- cleavable peptide increases time to blueshift

Metabolic Disorder Management
- Hyperammonemia: complication of urea-cycle disorder
- Occur in 1 out of 10,000 births
- Current analysis takes days – Hard to
diagnose
- Without treatment, patients suffer
irreversible brain damage, or even death

Direct Deposition of Body Temperature Responsive Polymeric Medical Sealants
Conventional suturing and tissue stapling § Intestinal, vasculature, or airway anastomosis § Liver, lung, or kidney resections Current commercial sealants have drawbacks including cost, shelf stability, complex preparation, or difficult application
