Interaction-mediating sequences within class I viral fusion glycoproteins : their roles in viral infection and in applications by Zhang, Simin

“…These putative self-binding peptides contain five core octapeptide consensus sequences, among which the octapeptide GINITNFR was predicted to form β-zipper-mediated amyloid-like fibrils. The peptide C6 containing this sequence was subsequently shown to oligomerize and form amyloid-like fibrils. …”
