These peptide assemblies have also been used as models for understanding biological processes, such as the pathological formation of amyloid. We investigate the assembly of an octapeptide sequence, Ac-FKFEFKFE-NH, motivated by prior studies that demonstrated that this amphipathic β strand peptide self-assembled into fibrils and biocompatible hydrogels. Using high-resolution cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), we are able to determine the atomic structure for two different coexisting forms of the fibrils, containing four and five β sandwich protofilaments, respectively. Surprisingly, the inner walls in both forms are parallel β sheets, while the outer walls are antiparallel β sheets. Our results demonstrate the chaotic nature of peptide self-assembly and illustrate the importance of cryo-EM structural analysis to understand the complex phase behavior of these materials at near-atomic resolution.
