The emergence of complex structures from simple components is so elegant that it seems like magic. The folks from the @weilgroup.bsky.social and Landfester group show that these 9-aa-long peptides self-assemble into multichannel nanofibrils with hexagonal pores! 🔯🤯

Sequence-encoded hexagonal lattices in multichannel peptide nanofibrils - Nature
Nine-residue peptides can encode discrete interaction motifs that direct the formation of hexagonal pores, which hierarchically tile into laterally expandable multichannel nanofibrils with defined top...
