Abstract: The design of spiraling cross-α amyloid-like structures reveals fascinating supermolecular fibrils of diverse compactness and stability. The small sequence variations governing cross-α self-assembly properties concur with amyloids being basic building blocks of life and natural… read more here.

Abstract: Significance The formation of cross-α amyloids has been shown by crystallographic analysis of the highly cytolytic peptide PSMα3, a secreted virulence factor associated with the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. However, the relationship of the crystallographic… read more here.
