Atomic Level Characterization of PolyGlycine Assembly
Polyglycine peptides can adopt polyproline II (PPII) helical conformations that assemble into honeycomb-shaped oligomers. These polyglycine II (PGII) helical bundles, which are also found in several natural proteins, lack apolar groups and cannot be stabilized by hydrophobic interactions. Thus, their folding must diffe...
