== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
The self-assembly of peptides into amyloid fibrils enables the design of functional biomaterials, yet the conformational constraints of alpha-peptides limit the attainable supramolecular diversity. Here, we introduce beta-amino acids, beta-phenylalanine (beta-Phe), and beta-homophenylalanine (beta-hPhe) into the reversible fibril-forming core sequence hnRAC1 to generate alpha/beta-peptide variants with distinct architectures and enhanced thermal stability. Cryo-EM reveals that beta-modified peptides assemble into polymorphic fibrils with cross-beta structures that differ markedly from each other and from native hnRAC1. Comparative structural analysis indicates that backbone extension by beta-residues increases subunit conformational heterogeneity, enabling tighter packing and formation of more thermostable fibrils. Examination of intra- and intermolecular contacts shows that enhanced pi-pi stacking, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions likely contribute to fibril stabilization. These results show that minimal backbone modifications can remodel amyloid architecture, offering a generalizable strategy for designing structurally diverse and robust peptide-based biomaterials. | |||
