Abstract

Entropy, one of the central concepts of thermodynamics, can be a predominant contribution to structural formation and transition. Although it is well-known that diverse forces and energies can significantly contribute to the structures and activities at bio-nano interfaces, the potential entropic contribution remains less well understood. Therefore, this review article seeks to provide a conceptual framework demonstrating that entropy can be exploited to shape the physicochemical properties of bio-nano interfaces and thereby regulate the structures, responses, and functions of biological systems. We introduce the typical types of entropy that matter at bio-nano interfaces. Moreover, some key characteristics featuring entropy at bio-nano interfaces, such as the difference between entropic force and energetic interaction and the associated implications for biomimetic research, are discussed. We expect that this review could stimulate further effort in the fundamental research of entropy in biology and in the biological applications of entropic effects in designer biomaterials.

摘要

熵是热力学的核心概念之一,它可以对结构的形成和转变产生主要影响。尽管众所周知,多种力和能量可以显著影响生物纳米界面的结构和活性,但熵的潜在贡献仍不太为人所知。因此,本文旨在提供一个概念框架,证明熵可以被用来塑造生物纳米界面的物理化学性质,从而调节生物系统的结构、响应和功能。我们介绍了生物纳米界面中物质的典型熵类型。此外,还讨论了生物纳米界面熵的一些关键特征,例如熵力与能量相互作用的区别,以及对仿生研究的相关影响。我们期望这篇综述能够激发人们进一步研究生物学中的熵,并将熵效应应用于设计生物材料的生物应用。
