This graphic depicts peptides assembling into fibers (gray). The attached DNA (yellow and green helices) on the peptides helps join the fibers together to form bundled structures.

Living things are built by soft materials with intricate structures that can reconfigure in response to changes in their surroundings to carry out important, complex functions. These biological materials, like muscles, bones, or even the “skeleton” inside cells, are made of small units or molecules that organize into larger architectures of various shapes and sizes.… Continue reading Featured: Bioconjugate Chemistry
