Short peptides self-assemble to produce catalytic amyloids
Enzymes fold into unique three-dimensional structures, which underlie their remarkable catalytic properties. The requirement to adopt a stable, folded conformation is likely to contribute to their relatively large size (> 10,000 Dalton). However, much shorter peptides can achieve well-defined con...
