Publication: structural and functional study of peptide-based nano-structures (JACS).

Congrats to our collaborators in the Rosi group (Pitt chemistry), the Zhang group (Struct. Biol. Dept.) and co-authors, on the acceptance of our collaborative paper in JACS, describing the structural and functional analysis of peptide-based nano-assemblies. The paper is available online as an in-press “ASAP” article on the JACS website. Jennifer and Abhishek used solid-state NMR to probe the core structure of the assembled peptides, finding a type of “intrinsic” polymorphism indicative of  amyloid-like “steric zipper” motifs in these designer nanomaterials.
