posted on 2013-02-21, 01:45 authored by Yoshiyuki Kumada, Shuguang ZhangA) Molecular models of designer peptides RADA16, PRG and PDS. B) Molecular model of self-assembling peptide nanofibers formation with PRG peptide, representing a beta-sheet structure. Note the sequences PRG extending out from the nanofiber. C) Typical AFM morphology of a self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold PRG mixed with RADA16. (Photograph by Akihiro Horii).
