One such example is the vertical fibronectin pillars observed in embryos. Here, we demonstrate the creation of cell-free vertical fibronectin pillar mimics using nonequilibrium self-assembly. Our approach utilizes enzyme-responsive phosphopeptides that assemble into nanotubes. Enzyme action triggers shape changes in peptide assemblies, driving the vertical growth of protein nanopillars into bundles. These bundles, with peptide nanotubes serving as a template to remodel fibronectin, can then recruit collagen, which forms aggregates or bundles depending on their types. Nanopillar formation relies on enzyme-catalyzed nonequilibrium self-assembly and is governed by the concentrations of enzyme, protein, peptide, the structure of the peptide, and peptide assembly morphologies. Cryo-EM reveals unexpected nanotube thinning and packing after dephosphorylation, indicating a complex sculpting process during assembly. Our study demonstrates a cell-free method for constructing intricate, multiprotein nanostructures with directionality and composition.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
