Self-Assembled Peptide Architecture with a Tooth Shape: Folding into Shape

Abstract: Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of molecules into structured aggregates by which nature builds complex functional systems. While numerous examples have focused on 2D self-assembly to understand the underlying mechanism and mimic this process to create artificial nano- and microstructures, limited progress has been made toward 3D self-assembly on the molecular level. Here we show that a helical β-peptide foldamer, an artificial protein fragment, with well-defined secondary structure self-… Show more

“…2b. TGA results showed peptide 1 has a lower thermal stability (of about 20 C) than the analogous ACPC b-peptide hexamer [7], presumably because the thermal stability of Aib is less than that of ACPC. No significant difference between peptide 1 powder and foldecture PP was observed in the FTIR and TGA profiles.…”

“…The profile was matched -10 refinement, a pseudo-Voigt function, together with a manually interpolated background, was used to describe the peak shape. A detailed Rietveld refinement procedure for large organic molecules can also be found elsewhere [10][11][12].…”

“…It is probably not a surprise that one of the most complex molecular crystals solved ab initio from powder diffraction data was solved by RMC in parallel tempering mode. It contains 63 organic (non-hydrogen) atoms in the asymmetric unit, and active use of fragments' connectivity knowledge was essential in the structure solution [23].…”
