Nanoribbons self-assembled from short peptides demonstrate the formation of polar zippers between β-sheets

Peptide self-assembly is a hierarchical process which includes forming β-sheets but the formation of high ordered structures remains largely unexplored. Here the authors report on a super-secondary structural template, based on well-defined hydrogen bonds by rational design and assembly of short pep...
