Here, we introduce β-amino acids, β-phenylalanine (β-Phe), and β-homophenylalanine (β-hPhe) into the reversible fibril-forming core sequence hnRAC1 to generate α/β-peptide variants with distinct architectures and enhanced thermal stability. Cryo-EM reveals that β-modified peptides assemble into polymorphic fibrils with cross-β structures that differ markedly from each other and from native hnRAC1. Comparative structural analysis indicates that backbone extension by β-residues increases subunit conformational heterogeneity, enabling tighter packing and formation of more thermostable fibrils. Examination of intra- and intermolecular contacts shows that enhanced π-π stacking, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions likely contribute to fibril stabilization. These results show that minimal backbone modifications can remodel amyloid architecture, offering a generalizable strategy for designing structurally diverse and robust peptide-based biomaterials. |
