Cell membranes play a key role in bottom-up synthetic biology, as they enable interaction control, transport, and other essential functions. These ultra-thin, flexible, yet stable structures form through the self-assembly of lipids and proteins. While liposomes are common mimics, their synthetic membranes often fail to replicate natural properties due to poor structural control. To address this, pepticombs are introduced, a new family of supramolecular building blocks. They are synthesized by regularly appending anionic surfactants with lipid-long alkyl tails to cationic amino acid residues of recombinant elastin-like supercharged unfolded polypeptides (SUPs). Using microscopy techniques and molecular dynamics simulations, the formation of giant unilamellar vesicles, termed pepticombisomes, is demonstrated and their membrane properties are characterized. The molecular topology of pepticombs allows for precise mimicry of membrane thickness and flexibility, beyond classic polymersomes. Unlike the previously introduced ionically-linked comb polymers, all pepticombs exhibit a uniform degree of polymerization, composition, sequence, and spontaneous curvature. This uniformity ensures consistent hydrophobic tail distribution, facilitating intermolecular hydrogen bonding within the backbone. This generates elastic heterogeneities and the concomitant formation of non-icosahedral faceted vesicles, as previously predicted. Additionally, pepticombisomes can incorporate functional lipids, enhancing design flexibility.
