Effect of de novo peptide properties on self-assembling large amyloid fibers

Effect of de novo peptide properties on self-assembling large amyloid fibers

Amyloid aggregation involves the spontaneous formation of fibers from misfolded proteins. This process requires low energy input, results in robust fibers, and is thus of interest from a materials manufacturing perspective. The effect of glutamine content and hydrophobicity of template peptides on a...
