Synthetic peptide assemblies, driven by supramolecular interactions, can form single triple helices through intrahelical amino acid pairs; however, the principles guiding interhelical associations into higher-order structures remain unclear. Here, we incorporate cation-π and electrostatic charge pairs to probe interhelical interactions and elucidate the mechanisms driving triple helix assembly into fibrils, nanotubes, and nanosheets. Introducing cation-π pairs into a fibrillating collagen mimetic resulted in D-periodic fibrils with pH-sensitive gelation. By alternating the presentation of electrostatic and cation-π pairs, the assembly of another D-periodic fibril featuring inner and outer triple-helical layers was resolved by cryo electron microscopy to a resolution of 8 Å. At physiological pH, antiparallel association of these triple helices leads to the formation of nanotubes. The packing behavior of triple helices correlates with the interhelical interactions, where parallel associations favor fibril formation and antiparallel interactions drive nanotube and nanosheet assembly. These self-assembling triple-helical peptides demonstrate how packing of higher-order structures can be tailored with supramolecular interactions and establish the relationship of different hierarchical collagen-mimetic assemblies as pH-dependent.
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.
