Self-Assembly of Large Amyloid Fibers

Functional amyloids found throughout nature have demonstrated that amyloid fibers are potential industrial biomaterials. This work introduces a new 'template plus adder' cooperative mechanism for the spontaneous self-assembly of micrometer sized amyloid fibers. A short hydrophobic templa...
