An unusual protein structure called a "corrugated beta sheet", first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using X-ray crystallography.
The new findings, published in Chemical Science in July, may enable the rational design of unique materials based on corrugated sheet-like structures.
Jevgenij Raskatov, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Cruz and corresponding author of the paper, said: "Our st
