Designed α-sheet peptides suppress amyloid formation in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms
Amyloid proteins: Peptides prevent folding Small protein fragments called peptides can be designed to interfere with the folding of proteins in biofilms and disrupt biofilm formation. Valerie Daggett and colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA, focused their attention on a type of...
