The CUP pilus SMF-1 utilizes a specific antiparallel bundling mechanism to initiate biofilm formation.

Bacterial biofilms enable microbial communities to withstand environmental stress and antibiotic challenge. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic pathogen that frequently colonizes cystic fibrosis airways. Its chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) pilus, SMF-1, is essential for biofilm development, but its molecular...

Chemical Editing Reveals Atomic-Level Control of Supramolecular Structure in Self-Assembling Peptides

Can replacement of single atoms within amino acid sequences redirect peptide self-assembly into different supramolecular structures? To address this question, we investigated a compositionally similar class of bola-amphiphilic peptides that were designed to self-assemble into filamentous nanostructures. The chemical di...
