Structure-based prediction reveals capping motifs that inhibit beta-helix aggregation

The parallel beta-helix is a geometrically regular fold commonly found in the proteomes of bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and some vertebrates. beta-helix structure has been observed in monomeric units of some aggregated amyloid fibers. In contrast, soluble beta-helices, both right- and left-han...
