基于仿生矿化策略的多酚-胶原晶体材料构筑

Construction of Polyphenol-Collagen Crystals via Biomimetic Mineralization

  • 摘要: 将胶原与天然有机分子组装成晶体结构是开发新型胶原基生物材料的潜在途径。然而,此类材料的合成难度大且机理复杂,仅有少数的相关研究报道。通过仿生矿化策略,成功将植物多酚鞣花酸与胶原构筑成晶体材料。该过程中胶原浓度对晶体形成起关键调控作用,鞣花酸的酚羟基与胶原羧基产生氢键结合,并通过氢键和π-π相互作用组装为最终结构。所得材料呈现块状形貌,且长度集中在20~30 μm。激光共聚焦荧光显微镜图像显示胶原在晶体内均匀分布,X射线衍射分析表明该材料具有规则晶格结构。基于晶体结构的稳定性,该材料在各类严苛条件下仍能保持结构完整性。研究结果为胶原仿生矿化提供了新方法及策略,对胶原基生物材料的制备具有重要参考价值。

     

    Abstract: The assembly of collagen with natural organic molecules into crystalline structures offers promising avenues for the development of novel collagen-based biomaterials. However, the synthesis of such crystalline composite materials presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the underlying mechanisms, and systematic studies in this area remain scarce. In this study, we successfully constructed a crystalline material by employing a biomimetic mineralization strategy using the small-molecule polyphenol ellagic acid in conjunction with collagen. The mineralization process was governed by the concentration of collagen, commencing with the formation of hydrogen bonding between the phenolic hydroxyl groups of ellagic acid and the carboxyl groups of collagen, followed by self-assembly into its final morphology through hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. The resulting material exhibited a cuboid-like morphology with length ranging from 20 to 30 micrometers. Characterization techniques, including laser confocal fluorescence microscopy, revealed a uniform distribution of collagen within the crystal. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the material possesses a well-ordered lattice structure. Due to the stability of this crystal structure, the material maintains its structural integrity under various harsh conditions. This study provides novel methods and strategies for collagen self-assembly, offering valuable insights into collagen-based biomaterials.
