Transformation of β-sheet structures of the amyloid peptide induced by molecular modulators

Abstract

In this work we report the effect of terminus molecular modulators on the secondary structures of the amyloid peptide aggregates. The controlled modulation of the assembly structure and the transformation of β-sheet secondary structures could be beneficial for gaining insight into the aggregation mechanism of peptides. Particularly, multiple assembling characteristics have been identified as a reflection of peptide–organic interactions.
