Abstract excerpt
We present an approach for designing self-assembled nanostructures from naturally occurring building block segments obtained from native protein structures. We focus on structural motifs from left-handed beta-helical proteins. We selected 17 motifs. Copies of each of the motifs are stacked one atop the other. The obtained structures were simulated for long periods by using Molecular Dynamics to test their ability...
