Self-assembly of amphiphilic helical-coiled peptide nanofibers and inhibition of fibril formation with curcumin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Amphiphilic peptide sequences are conducive to secondary structures that self-assemble into higher-ordered peptide nanostructures. A select set of amphiphilic polycationic peptides displayed stable helical-coiled structures that self-assembled into peptide nanofibers. The progression of peptide fibril formation revealed short protofibrils that extended into thin filaments and into an entangled network of nanofibers over an extended (5 days) incubation period. Ligand binding with 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (ANS) and Congo Red (CR) confirmed the amphiphilic helical-coiled peptide structure assembly into nanofibers, whereas curcumin treatment led to inhibition of fibril formation. Considering the vast repertoire of fibrous biomaterials and peptide or protein (mis)folding contingent on fibril formation, this work relates the molecular interplay in between sequence composition, structural folding and the ligand binding events impacting peptide self-assembly into nanofibers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
