Microarrays of Peptide Fibrils Created by Electrostatically Controlled Deposition
Source abstract
Abstract
The adsorption of β-sheet-rich fibrils produced in vitro via the self-assembly of polypeptides onto surfaces is found to be governed by electrostatic interactions. Chemically patterned substrates are used to create lateral micropatterns of fibrils and hybrid microstructures of fibrils with inorganic nanoparticles (see Figure). β-sheet-rich fibrils are promising as functional biomaterials.

4. Fibrillar protein aggregates rich in β‐sheet secondary structure have been implicated in a host of human and animal diseases including most famously the neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer's Disease. Although the fibrils investigated in this study are “amyloid‐like” in their structure and biophysical characteristics they have not been implicated in any disease. To reflect this difference the fibrils employed in this study are termed “β‐sheet‐rich” fibrils.
