Toroidal β-barrels from self-assembling β-sheet peptides

Abstract

Controlling nanostructural morphologies has been the subject of intensive research as nanostructures can display significantly different bioactivities depending on their physicochemical parameters. Toroidal proteins perform numerous important functions in biological systems. Recent studies show that toroidal nanostructures can be constructed by rationally designed self-assembling peptide building blocks.
