(a) Hierarchical model of self-assembly, from monomer to fiber. (b) MAX1 and (c) β-hairpin sequence intramolecular random-coil folding of the MAX1 peptide followed by self-assembly. (d) The MDP assembly named “broken tooth” exposes the vacuum produced during fiber packaging. MDP: multidomain peptides [143].
