title: [Classification of self-organizing peptides].
abstract: Amino acid sequences of known natural and synthetic self-assembling peptides were searched and analyzed for their characteristic patterns. The attempted formal numerical description of the repeating motifs, which have been revealed, resulted in building of general classification system embracing core-sequences of the peptides capable of nanostructure formation. Advantages and potency of the proposed rational classification were demonstrated via its comparison with the output from the earlier system described by the others.
