Stabilization of an alpha helix by beta-sheet-mediated self-assembly of a macrocyclic peptide.
Protein roll call: Peptide-based building blocks, in which both an alpha-helix-forming segment and a beta-sheet segment are located within a single macrocyclic structure, self-assemble into alpha-helix-decorated artificial proteins. This approach provides a starting point for developing artificial proteins that can modulate alpha-helix-mediated interactions occurring in a multivalent fashion.
