Outline Activities
We have been developing general procedures to create synthetic nano materials, that function as antibody and enzymes, from inexpensive and stable acrylic monomers.

1, Development of Plastic Antibodies
General procedures for the creation of synthetic nanoparticles with biomacromolecular recognition sites are of significant interest as a route to stable, robust, and mass-produced substitutes for antibodies. Ideally, recognition of complex biological targets, including proteins, peptides, and carbohydrates, requires multiple functional groups that contact target molecules by a combination of electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding, van der Waals, and/or hydrophobic interactions. We have shown that copolymerization of optimized combination and ratio of functional acrylic-monomers creates synthetic polymer materials with molecular recognition sites for peptides and proteins. In addition to optimizing functional complementarity, the affinity sites can be further enhanced by molecular imprinting and/or affinity purification process. Those particles are capable of recognizing, neutralizing, and clearing toxic peptide and proteins even in the bloodstream of living animals. However, in contrast to antibodies whose exact sequence can be determined and cloned, polymerized materials result in heterogeneous structures with a distribution of recognition sites. Our goal is to achieve general strategy to create plastic antibodies with uniform molecular structure as "monoclonal plastic antibodies".


2, Development of Plastic Enzymes
Life is a dissipate structure appears in the non-equilibrium open system. To maintain the structure, enzymes mediates most reactions in the body including molecular transportation, energy conversion and molecular conversion that are necessarily for the life. To keep the life alive, it is important for the each enzyme to recognize and bind to specific molecules and ions and catalyze specific reaction just in time. It is also very important to control binding and dissociating kinetics to keep the dissipate structure.
One of the challenges for us is to construct synthetic molecular system like living life. So far, we found that target binding and dissociation kinetics of nanoparticles can be tuned by conformation change and polymer density of the particles. Binding constant to target proteins and ions can be reversibly switched on/off by temperature-induced phase transition of the polymer chains. By applying the fundamental findings, we are trying to develop inexpensive and scalable chemical process for the conversion of low temperature waste heat in to reusable chemical potential.

Chem. Int. Ed, 10.1002/ange.202206456, e202206456, 2022.05, Synthetic polymer nanoparticles (NPs) that recognize and neutralize target biomacromolecules are of considerable interest as “plastic antibodies”, synthetic mimics of antibodies. However, monomer sequences in the synthetic NPs are heterogeneous. The heterogeneity limits the target specificity and safety of the NPs. Herein, we report the synthesis of NPs with uniform monomer sequences for recognition and neutralization of target peptides. A multifunctional oligomer with a precise monomer sequence that recognizes the target peptide was prepared via cycles of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and flash chromatography. The oligomer or blend of oligomers was used as a chain transfer agent and introduced into poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) hydrogel NPs by radical polymerization. Evaluation of the interaction with the peptides revealed that multiple oligomers in NPs cooperatively recognized the sequence of the target peptide and neutralized its toxicity. Effect of sequence, combination, density and molecular weight distribution of precision oligomers on the affinity to the peptides was also investigated..

Chem Soc, doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c08600, 142, 41, 17318-17322, 2020.09, Thermoelectric conversion of low temperature, delocalized, and abundant thermal sources is crucial for the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and/or a carbon-free society. Thermocells are of great interest in thermoelectric conversion of low-temperature heat due to the low cost and flexibility of components. However, significant improvement of the conversion efficiency is required for the practical use of the cells. Here, we report thermo-electrochemical cells driven by volume phase transition (VPT) of hydrogel nanoparticles (NPs). Entropically driven VPT of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) NPs containing carboxylic acids and amines generates a pH gradient of up to 0.049 and −0.053 pH K–1, respectively, around physiological temperature. The pH gradient triggers the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of quinhydrone on the electrodes, resulting in the highly efficient thermoelectric conversion with a Seebeck coefficient (Se) of −6.7 and +6.1 mV K–1. Thermocells driven by phase transition of hydrogels provide a nontoxic, flexible, and inexpensive charger that harvests carbon-free energy from abundant energy sources such as solar, body and waste heat..

Currently, there is no direct treatment for sepsis. Here we report an abiotic hydrogel nanoparticle (HNP) as a potential therapeutic agent for late-stage sepsis. The HNP captures and neutralizes all variants of histones, a major inflammatory mediator released during sepsis. The highly optimized HNP has high capacity and long-term circulation capability for the selective sequestration and neutralization of histones. Intravenous injection of the HNP protects mice against a lethal dose of histones through the inhibition of platelet aggregation and migration into the lungs. In vivo administration in murine sepsis model mice results in near complete survival. These results establish the potential for synthetic, nonbiological polymer hydrogel sequestrants as a new intervention strategy for sepsis therapy and adds to our understanding of the importance of histones to this condition..

Chem. Int. Ed, doi.org/10.1002/anie.201910558, 132, 689-693, 2020.02, Abiotic ligands that bind to specific biomolecules have attracted attention as substitutes for biomolecular ligands, such as antibodies and aptamers. Radical polymerization enables the production of robust polymeric ligands from inexpensive functional monomers. However, little has been reported about the production of monodispersed polymeric ligands. Herein, we present homogeneous ligands prepared via radical polymerization that recognize epitope sequences on a target peptide and neutralize the toxicity of the peptide. Taking advantage of controlled radical polymerization and separation, a library of multifunctional oligomers with discrete numbers of functional groups was prepared. Affinity screening revealed that the sequence specificity of the oligomer ligands strongly depended on the number of functional groups. The process reported here will become a general step for the development of abiotic ligands that recognize specific peptide sequences..

Unfortunately, conventional technologies are limited in uncovering these relations. We present a machine-intelligence technology based on a radically different architecture that realizes real-time image-based intelligent cell sorting at an unprecedented rate. This technology, which we refer to as intelligent image-activated cell sorting, integrates high-throughput cell microscopy, focusing, and sorting on a hybrid software-hardware data-management infrastructure, enabling real-time automated operation for data acquisition, data processing, decision-making, and actuation. We use it to demonstrate real-time sorting of microalgal and blood cells based on intracellular protein localization and cell-cell interaction from large heterogeneous populations for studying photosynthesis and
atherothrombosis, respectively. The technology is highly versatile and expected to enable machinebased scientific discovery in biological, pharmaceutical, and medical sciences..

Miura, Tuning pKa of Brønsted Acids in Stimuli Responsive Nanogel Particles by Proton- and Ion-Imprinting Strategy for Reversible Capture of Target Molecules, Affinity 2017, 2017.06, Synthetic materials that alter their binding affinity to target molecules in response to external stimuli have gained considerable attention as substitutes for protein based ligands. Recently, we revealed that pNIPAm-based NPs that show large and reversible pKa shifts can be prepared by the “proton imprinting” and “microenvironment imprinting” strategy. The pKa variation range of carboxylic acids in the NPs can further be tuned by designing structure of monomers containing Brønsted acids and tuning cross-linking density and size of NPs. The pKa variation range can be lowered/raised to be 4-9 by stabilizing/destabilizing carboxylate anions by modifying the acids with electron withdrawing/donating group. The pKa of acids can also be lowered dramatically by imprinting cationic functional group such as guanidium group around the carboxylate anions.
Our results provide a guide for designing stable and inexpensive materials for many biological and chemical applications as temperature-dependent affinity media and pH modifiers..
