Natural Antimicrobial Peptides Self-assemble as α/β Chameleon Amyloids

2022-06-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Amyloid protein fibrils and some antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) share biophysical and structural properties. This observation suggests that ordered self-assembly can act as an AMP-regulating mechanism, and, vice versa, that human amyloids play a role in host defense against pathogens, as opposed to their common association with neurodegenerative and systemic diseases. Based on previous structural...
