Abstract
The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of hybrid alginate (Alg)-Au nanoparticle (NP) films results from the localized pH drop at the electrode surface due to oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) catalyzed by 4 and 15 nm diameter citrate-coated gold NPs (cit-Au NPs). The localized pH drop at the electrode leads to neutralization of both Alg and cit, leading to EPD of both Alg and cit-Au NPs simultaneously. Post-treatment of the film with Ca2+ solution leads to hybrid Ca-Alg-Au NP hydrogel films. The EPD of Alg in the presence of 4 nm cit-Au NPs occurs at ∼0.8 V (vs Ag/AgCl) as compared to ∼1.0 V in the presence of 15 nm cit-Au NPs and ∼1.4 V in the absence of cit-Au NPs. This is due to the higher catalytic activity of 4 nm cit-Au NPs compared to 15 nm cit-Au NPs for the oxidation of HQ. UV-vis spectra of Ca-Alg-Au NP hydrogel films show absorbance features for both Ca-Alg and Au NPs entrapped within the hydrogel. As the concentration of Au NPs in the EPD solution increases, the Ca-Alg absorbance and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of the Au NPs increases, confirming the role of the Au NPs as a catalyst for EPD of Alg. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra of the Ca-Alg-Au NP hydrogel films show characteristic peaks for Ca-Alg and protonated alginic acid groups. The hydrogel thickness is greater with cit-Au NPs compared to without cit-Au NPs at constant EPD potential and time. Forming Ca-Alg and hybrid Ca-Alg-Au NP hydrogel films at low potentials has potential applications in electrochemical and optical sensor development, catalysis, and biological studies.

Abstract
The electrochemically controlled release of proteins was studied in a Ca2+-cross-linked alginate hydrogel deposited on an electrode surface. The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbate or reduction of O2 was achieved upon applying electrical potentials +0.6 or -0.8 V (vs Ag/AgCl/KCl 3 M), respectively, resulting in decreasing or increasing pH locally near an electrode surface. The obtained local acidic solution resulted in the protonation of carboxylic groups in the alginate hydrogel and, as a result, the formation of a hydrophobic shrunken hydrogel film. Conversely, the produced alkaline local environment resulted in a hydrophilic swollen hydrogel film. The release of the proteins was effectively inhibited from the shrunk hydrogel and activated from the swollen hydrogel film. Overall, the electrochemically produced local pH changes allowed control over the biomolecule release process. While the release inhibition by applying +0.6 V was always effective and could be maintained as long as the positive potential was applied, the release activation was different depending on the protein molecular size, being more effective for smaller species, and molecule charge, being more effective for negatively charged species. The repetitive change from the inhibited to stimulated state of the biomolecule release process was obtained upon cyclic application of oxidative and reductive potentials (+0.6 V ↔ -0.8 V). The alginate hydrogel film shrinking-swelling as well as the protein release process were studied and visualized using a confocal fluorescent microscope. In order to be observed, an external surface of the alginate film and the loaded protein molecules were labeled with different fluorescent dyes, which then produced colored fluorescent images under a confocal microscope.

Abstract
Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Three main different types of lysozymes are known: the c-type (chicken or conventional type), the g-type (goose type), and the i-type (invertebrate type). It has long been the subject of several applications due to its antimicrobial properties. The problem of antibiotic resistance has stimulated the search for new molecules or new applications of known compounds. The use of lysozyme as an alternative antibiotic is the subject of this review, which covers the results published over the past two decades. This review is focused on the applications of lysozyme in medicine, (the treatment of infectious diseases, wound healing, and anti-biofilm), veterinary, feed, food preservation, and crop protection. It is available from a wide range of sources, in addition to the well-known chicken egg white, and its synergism with other compounds, endowed with antimicrobial activity, are also summarized. An overview of the modified lysozyme applications is provided in the form of tables.

Abstract
Nature produces materials using available molecular building blocks following a bottom-up approach. These materials are formed with great precision and flexibility in a controlled manner. This approach offers the inspiration for manufacturing new artificial materials and devices. Synthetic artificial materials can find many important applications ranging from personalized therapeutics to solutions for environmental problems. Among these materials, responsive synthetic materials are capable of changing their structure and/or properties in response to external stimuli, and hence are termed "smart" materials. Herein, this review focuses on alginate-based smart materials and their stimuli-responsive preparation, fragmentation, and applications in diverse fields from drug delivery and tissue engineering to water purification and environmental remediation. In the first part of this report, we review stimuli-induced preparation of alginate-based materials. Stimuli-triggered decomposition of alginate materials in a controlled fashion is documented in the second part, followed by the application of smart alginate materials in diverse fields. Because of their biocompatibility, easy accessibility, and simple techniques of material formation, alginates can provide solutions for several present and future problems of humankind. However, new research is needed for novel alginate-based materials with new functionalities and well-defined properties for targeted applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been widely used in many fields including biomedicine and water treatment. Significant achievements have been made in these fields due to the extraordinary properties of hydrogels, such as facile processability and tissue similarity. However, based on the in-depth study of the microstructures of hydrogels, as a result of the enhancement of biomedical requirements in drug delivery, cell encapsulation, cartilage regeneration, and other aspects, it is challenge for conventional homogeneous hydrogels to simultaneously meet different needs. Fortunately, heterogeneous multilayer hydrogels have emerged and become an important branch of hydrogels research. In this review, their main preparation processes and mechanisms as well as their composites from different resources and methods, are introduced. Moreover, the more recent achievements and potential applications are also highlighted, and their future development prospects are clarified and briefly discussed.

Abstract
A novel microfluidic channel device with programmable in situ formation of a hydrogel 3D network was designed. A biocompatible hybrid material consisting of iron ion-crosslinked alginate was used as the active porous medium. The sol-gel transition of the alginate was controlled by the oxidation state of Fe ions and regulated by an external electrical signal through an integrated gold plate electrode. The SEM images, FT-IR analysis, and rheological test demonstrated that homogeneous yet programmable hydrogel films were formed. The higher the concentration of the crosslinker (Fe(iii)), the smaller the pore and mesh size of the hydrogel. Moreover, the hydrogel thickness and volume were tailored by controlling the deposition time and the strength of electric current density. The as-prepared system was employed as an active medium for immobilization of target molecules, using BSA as a drug-mimicking protein. The reductive potential (activated by switching the current direction) caused dissolution of the hydrogel and consequently the release of BSA and Fe. The diffusion of the entrapped molecules was optimally adjusted by varying the dissolution conditions and the initial formulations. Finally, the altering electrical conditions confirm the programmable nature of the electrically responsive material and highlight its wide-ranging application potential.

Abstract
A versatile approach to entrap relatively small enzymes in hydrogels allows their diverse biotechnological applications. In the present work, bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) was efficiently entrapped in calcium alginate beads with the help of liposomes. A mixture of sodium alginate (3 wt %) and carbonic anhydrase-liposome conjugates (BCALs) was dripped into a Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH = 7.5) containing 0.4 M CaCl2 to induce the gelation and curing of the dispersed alginate-rich droplets. The entrapment efficiency of BCALs, which was defined as the amount of catalysts entrapped in alginate beads relative to that initially charged, was 98.7 ± 0.2% as determined through quantifying BCALs in the filtrate being separated from the beads. When free BCA was employed, on the other hand, a significantly lower entrapment efficiency of 27.2 ± 4.1% was obtained because free BCA could pass through alginate matrices. Because the volume of a cured alginate bead (10 μL) entrapped with BCALs was about 2.5 times smaller than that of an original droplet, BCALs were densely present in the beads to give the concentrations of lipids and BCA of 4.6-8.3 mM and 1.1-1.8 mg/mL, respectively. Alginate beads entrapped with BCALs were used to catalyze the hydrolysis of 1.0 mM p-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NA) at pH = 7.5 using the wells of a microplate or 10 mL glass beakers as batch reactors. Furthermore, the beads were confined in a column for continuous-flow hydrolysis of 1.0 mM p-NA for 1 h at a mean residence time of 8.5 or 4.3 min. The results obtained demonstrate that the conjugation of BCA to liposomes gave an opportunity to achieve efficient and stable entrapment of BCA in alginate hydrogels for applying to catalytic reactions in bioreactors.

Abstract
Direct medications of salmon calcitonin (sCT) through subcutaneous or intramuscular injection are limited for its low effeciency. Drug delivery systems with sustained delivery property and high bioactivity are imminently needed. In consideration of the clinic application, a cost-effective and effective carrier is demanded, which is still a challenge until now. In this study, a simple alginate/ alginate sulfate-sCT (Alg/AlgS-sCT) complex was succesfully constructed for sustained release of sCT. The negtively charged sulphate groups facilitate the bonding with sCT, which avoids the burst release of sCT and extends the release time up to 15 days (only 2 days for pure sCT). More importantly, the bioactivity of the released sCT is not affected during such long release time, suggesting a conformation similar to native sCT. In vitro analysis implies the biocompatibility of the complex. Moreover, the combination of AlgS and sCT synergistically impoved the osteogenic ability of MC3T3 cells, showing higher ALP level, intracellular and extracellular calcium ions concentrations. Note that the concentration of intracellular calcium ions displays 5.26 fold increments of control group after 10 days of incubation. We envision this simple yet effective system has potential applications in clinical trails and give inspiration for the design of other protein delivery system.

Abstract
This review is focused on new electrophoretic deposition (EPD) mechanisms for deposition biomacromolecules, such as biopolymers, proteins and enzymes. Among the rich literature sources of EPD of biopolymers, proteins and enzymes for biomedical applications we selected papers describing new fundamental deposition mechanisms. Such deposition mechanisms are of critical importance for further development of EPD method and its emerging biomedical applications. Our goal is to emphasize innovative ideas which have enriched colloid and interface science of EPD during recent years. We describe various mechanisms of cathodic and anodic EPD of charged biopolymers. Special attention is focused on in-situ chemical modification of biopolymers and crosslinking techniques. Recent innovations in the development of natural and biocompatible charged surfactants and film forming agents are outlined. Among the important advances in this area are the applications of bile acids and salts for EPD of neutral polymers. Such innovations allowed for the successful EPD of various electrically neutral functional polymers for biomedical applications. Particularly important are biosurfactant-polymer interactions, which facilitate dissolution, dispersion, charging, electrophoretic transport and deposit formation. Recent advances in EPD mechanisms addressed the problem of EPD of proteins and enzymes related to their charge reversal at the electrode surface. Conceptually new methods are described, which are based on the use of biopolymer complexes with metal ions, proteins, enzymes and other biomolecules. This review describes new developments in co-deposition of biomacromolecules and future trends in the development of new EPD mechanisms and strategies for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The studied enzyme-based biocatalytic system mimics NXOR Boolean logic gate, which is a logical operator that corresponds to equality in Boolean algebra. It gives the functional value true (1) if both functional arguments (input signals) have the same logical value (0,0 or 1,1), and false (0) if they are different (0,1 or 1,0). The output signal producing reaction is catalyzed by pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH), which is inhibited at acidic and basic pH values. Two other reactions catalyzed by esterase and urease produce acetic acid and ammonium hydroxide, respectively, shifting solution pH from the optimum pH for PQQ-GDH to acidic and basic values (1,0 and 0,1 input combinations, respectively), thus switching the enzyme activity off (output 0). When the input signals are not applied (0,0 combination) or both applied compensating each other (1,1 combination) the optimum pH is preserved, thus keeping PQQ-GDH running at the high rate (output 1). The biocatalytic cascade mimicking the NXOR gate was characterized optically and electrochemically. In the electrochemical experiments the PQQ-GDH enzyme communicated electronically with a conducting electrode support, thus resulting in the electrocatalytic current when signal combinations 0,0 and 1,1 were applied. The logic gate operation, when it was realized electrochemically, was also extended to the biomolecular release controlled by the gate. The release system included two electrodes, one performing the NXOR gate and another one activated for the release upon electrochemically stimulated alginate hydrogel dissolution. The studied system represents a general approach to the biocatalytic realization of the NXOR logic gate, which can be included in different catalytic cascades mimicking operation of concatenated gates in sophisticated logic circuitries.

Abstract
Biology often provides the inspiration for functional soft matter, but biology can do more: it can provide the raw materials and mechanisms for hierarchical assembly. Biology uses polymers to perform various functions, and biologically derived polymers can serve as sustainable, self-assembling, and high-performance materials platforms for life-science applications. Biology employs enzymes for site-specific reactions that are used to both disassemble and assemble biopolymers both to and from component parts. By exploiting protein engineering methodologies, proteins can be modified to make them more susceptible to biology's native enzymatic activities. They can be engineered with fusion tags that provide (short sequences of amino acids at the C- and/or N- termini) that provide the accessible residues for the assembling enzymes to recognize and react with. This "biobased" fabrication not only allows biology's nanoscale components (i.e., proteins) to be engineered, but also provides the means to organize these components into the hierarchical structures that are prevalent in life.

Abstract
Biology and electronics are both expert at for accessing, analyzing, and responding to information. Biology uses ions, small molecules, and macromolecules to receive, analyze, store, and transmit information, whereas electronic devices receive input in the form of electromagnetic radiation, process the information using electrons, and then transmit output as electromagnetic waves. Generating the capabilities to connect biology-electronic modalities offers exciting opportunities to shape the future of biosensors, point-of-care medicine, and wearable/implantable devices. Redox reactions offer unique opportunities for bio-device communication that spans the molecular modalities of biology and electrical modality of devices. Here, an approach to search for redox information through an interactive electrochemical probing that is analogous to sonar is adopted. The capabilities of this approach to access global chemical information as well as information of specific redox-active chemical entities are illustrated using recent examples. An example of the use of synthetic biology to recognize external molecular information, process this information through intracellular signal transduction pathways, and generate output responses that can be detected by electrical modalities is also provided. Finally, exciting results in the use of redox reactions to actuate biology are provided to illustrate that synthetic biology offers the potential to guide biological response through electrical cues.

Abstract
Materials science offers new perspectives in the clinical analysis of antimicrobial sensitivity. However, a biomaterial with the capacity to respond to living bacteria has not been developed to date. We present an electrochromic iron(III)-complexed alginate hydrogel sensitive to bacterial metabolism, here applied to fast antibiotic-susceptibility determination. Bacteria under evaluation are entrapped -and pre-concentrated- in the hydrogel matrix by oxidation of iron (II) ions to iron (III) and in situ formation of the alginate hydrogel in less than 2min and in soft experimental conditions (i.e. room temperature, pH 7, aqueous solution). After incubation with the antibiotic (10min), ferricyanide is added to the biomaterial. Bacteria resistant to the antibiotic dose remain alive and reduce ferricyanide to ferrocyanide, which reacts with the iron (III) ions in the hydrogel to produce Prussian Blue molecules. For a bacterial concentration above 107 colony forming units per mL colour development is detectable with the bare eye in less than 20min. The simplicity, sensitivity, low-cost and short response time of the biomaterial and the assay envisages a high impact of these approaches on sensitive sectors such as public health system, food and beverage industries or environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The Information Age transformed our lives but it has had surprisingly little impact on the way chemical information (e.g., from our biological world) is acquired, analyzed and communicated. Sensor systems are poised to change this situation by providing rapid access to chemical information. This access will be enabled by technological advances from various fields: biology enables the synthesis, design and discovery of molecular recognition elements as well as the generation of cell-based signal processors; physics and chemistry are providing nano-components that facilitate the transmission and transduction of signals rich with chemical information; microfabrication is yielding sensors capable of receiving these signals through various modalities; and signal processing analysis enhances the extraction of chemical information. The authors contend that integral to the development of functional sensor systems will be materials that (i) enable the integrative and hierarchical assembly of various sensing components (for chemical recognition and signal transduction) and (ii) facilitate meaningful communication across modalities. It is suggested that stimuli-responsive self-assembling biopolymers can perform such integrative functions, and redox provides modality-spanning communication capabilities. Recent progress toward the development of electrochemical sensors to manage schizophrenia is used to illustrate the opportunities and challenges for enlisting sensors for chemical information processing.

Abstract
The controlled release of biomolecules from a substrate surface is a challenging task. Photocleavable linkers appear as attractive candidates for light-triggered delivery. We show here the possibility of creating photoactivable diamond nanowire interfaces, from which molecules can be photochemically released upon irradiation at 365 nm for several minutes. The approach is based on the covalent modification of boron-doped diamond nanowires (BDD NWs) with o-nitrobenzyl containing ligands, to which different biomolecules can be attached via amide bond formation. The photodecomposition reaction and the subsequent release of small proteins such as lysozyme or enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Using a colorimetric assay, we demonstrate that, while complete cleavage of HRP was achieved upon irradiation for 10 min at 1 W cm(-2), this exposure time resulted in a partial loss of enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Electrodeposition is an attractive technique that provides a controllable and programmable means to trigger the assembly of stimuli-responsive biopolymers (e.g., chitosan) for a diverse range of applications. Here, we report a new electrodeposition method for chitosan based on the coordination of chitosan to the metal ions in situ-generated by simultaneous electrochemical oxidation. In particular, we typically construct a deposited hydrogel on the copper electrode through this coordinated electrodeposition method, and the obtained hydrogel is smooth, transparent and homogeneous, as well as it has stability under acidic conditions and enough strength to be readily peeled from the electrode. This coordinated electrodeposition can be conveniently employed to build coatings (on the electrodes) or hydrogel films (peeled from the electrodes) with various shapes, and it also enables nanoparticles (e.g., fluorescent carbon dots) to be codeposited with chitosan. Furthermore, by enlisting the special benefits of the coordinated electrodeposition, the diverse hydrogel patterns can be constructed on the electrodes. Interestingly, this coordinated electrodeposition can be employed to directly build the complex hydrogel on the electrode to perform electrochemical detection. Therefore, it can be expected that this coordinated electrodeposition of chitosan has promising applications in biomedical devices, surface coating, and metallic biomaterials.

Abstract
An analytical model to describe diffusion of oligonucleotides from stable hydrogel beads is developed and experimentally verified. The synthesized alginate beads are Fe(3+) -cross-linked and polyelectrolyte-doped for uniformity and stability at physiological pH. Data on diffusion of oligonucleotides from inside the beads provide physical insights into the volume nature of the immobilization of a fraction of oligonucleotides due to polyelectrolyte cross-linking, that is, the absence of a surface-layer barrier in this case. Furthermore, the results suggest a new simple approach to measuring the diffusion coefficient of mobile oligonucleotide molecules inside hydrogels. The considered alginate beads provide a model for a well-defined component in drug-release systems and for the oligonucleotide-release transduction steps in drug-delivering and biocomputing applications. This is illustrated by destabilizing the beads with citrate, which induces full oligonucleotide release with nondiffusional kinetics.

Abstract
A new approach to bioelectronic Sense-and-Act systems was developed with the use of modified electrodes performing sensing and substance-releasing functions. The sensing electrode was activated by biomolecular/biological signals ranging from small biomolecules to proteins and bacterial cells. The activated sensing electrode generated reductive potential and current, which stimulated dissolution of an Fe(3+)-cross-linked alginate matrix on the second connected electrode resulting in the release of loaded biochemical species with different functionalities. Drug-mimicking species, antibacterial drugs, and enzymes activating a biofuel cell were released and tested for various biomedical and biotechnological applications. The studied systems offer great versatility for future applications in controlled drug release and personalized medicine. Their future applications in implantable devices with autonomous operation are proposed.

Abstract
A biocatalytic electrode activated by pH signals was prepared with a multilayered nanostructured interface including PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) directly associated with the conducting support and glucose oxidase (GOx) located on the external interface. GOx was immobilized through a pH-signal-cleavable linker composed of an iminobiotin/avidin complex. In the presence of GOx, glucose was intercepted at the external interface and biocatalytically oxidized without current generation, thus keeping the electrode in its nonactive state. When the pH value was lowered from pH 7.5 to 4.5 the iminobiotin/avidin complex was cleaved and GOx was removed from the interface allowing glucose penetration to the electrode surface where it was oxidized by PQQ-GDH yielding a bioelectrocatalytic current, thus switching the electrode to its active state. This process was used to trigger a drug-mimicking release process from another connected electrode. Furthermore, the pH-switchable electrode can be activated by biochemical signals logically processed by biocatalytic systems mimicking various Boolean gates. Therefore, the developed switchable electrode can interface biomolecular computing/sensing systems with drug-release processes.

Abstract
Biocatalytic reactions operating in parallel and resulting in reduction of NAD(+) or oxidation of NADH were used to mimic 3-input majority and minority logic gates, respectively. The substrates corresponding to the enzyme reactions were used as the input signals. When the input signals were applied at their high concentrations, defined as logic 1 input values, the corresponding biocatalytic reactions were activated, resulting in changes of the NADH concentration defined as the output signal. The NADH concentration changes were dependent on the number of parallel reactions activated by the input signals. The absence of the substrates, meaning their logic 0 input values, kept the reactions mute with no changes in the NADH concentration. In the system mimicking the majority function, the enzyme-biocatalyzed reactions resulted in a higher production of NADH when more than one input signal was applied at the logic 1 value. Another system mimicking the minority function consumed more NADH, thus leaving a smaller residual output signal, when more than one input signal was applied at the logic 1 value. The performance of the majority gate was improved by processing the output signal through a filter system in which another biocatalytic reaction consumed a fraction of the output signal, thus reducing its physical value to zero when the logic 0 value was obtained. The majority gate was integrated with a preceding AND logic gate to illustrate the possibility of complex networks. The output signal, NADH, was also used to activate a process mimicking drug release, thus illustrating the use of the majority gate in decision-making biomedical systems. The 3-input majority gate was also used as a switchable AND/OR gate when one of the input signals was reserved as a command signal, switching the logic operation for processing of the other two inputs. Overall, the designed majority and minority logic gates demonstrate novel functions of biomolecular information processing systems.

Abstract
Complex structured soft matter may have important applications in the field of tissue engineering and biomedicine. However, the discovery of facile methods to exquisitely manipulate the structure of soft matter remains a challenge. In this report, a multilayer hydrogel is fabricated from the stimuli-responsive aminopolysaccharide chitosan by using spatially localized and temporally controlled sequences of electrical signals. By programming the imposed cathodic input signals, chitosan hydrogels with varying layer number and thickness can be fabricated. The inputs of electrical signals induce the formation of hydrogel layers while short interruptions create interfaces between each layer. The thickness of each layer is controlled by the charge transfer (Q = ∫idt) during the individual deposition step and the number of multilayers is controlled by the number of interruptions. Scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) reveal organized fibrous structures within each layer that are demarcated by compact orthogonal interlayer structures. This work demonstrates for the first time that an imposed sequence of electrical inputs can trigger the self-assembly of multilayered hydrogels and thus suggests the broader potential for creating an electrical "code" to generate complex structures in soft matter.
