Figure 1. Schematic representation of a self-assembled fibrillar network and its relationship with individual self-assembled fibrils and peptide primary structure. (a) Fibrillar network of assembled peptide. (b) Each fibril is comprised of 4 ribbons. The thin lines on the ribbons represent individual oligopeptides, each in ß-strand conformation. (c) Dimeric antiparallel ß-sheet tape of P11-4, the self-assembling peptide used in the present study. The labels correspond to the side-chains of the peptide at the back only.
