A nanofiber assembly directed by the non-classical antiparallel β-structure from 4S-(OH) proline polypeptide

Abstract

The antiparallel arrangement of two strands of the non-classical β-structure, formed exclusively via cis-4S-(OH) prolyl polypeptide as established by FRET, propagates into self-assembled nanofibers upon conjugation with C12/C14/C16 hydrocarbon chains.
