Poly(α-amino acid)s (PαAAs), or synthetic polypeptides, are biodegradable and biocompatible polymers with unique secondary structures (e.g. α-helix, β-sheet, and random coil) resembling natural proteins. The secondary structures and their stimuli-responsive transitions endow PαAAs a wide range of applications for both material sciences and biomedicine. In this review, we give a brief summary of our recent progresses in the secondary structure effect of PαAAs with special focuses placed on antifouling surfaces, regulation of cellular uptake, and protein modification, the future development direction of the secondary structure of PαAAs was briefly predicted.
