pH- and concentration-dependent supramolecular assembly of a fungal defensin plectasin variant into helical non-amyloid fibrils

Here the authors report the cryo-EM structure of a triple-mutant of the anti-microbial peptide plectasin, PPI42, assembling in a pH- and concentration dependent manner into helical non-amyloid fibrils. The fibrils formation is reversible, and follows a sigmoidal kinetics. The fibrils adopt a right-h...
