Programmed pathway selection for hierarchical assembly of peptides containing low-complexity aromatic-rich kinked segments.

Low-complexity, aromatic-rich kinked segments (LARKS) form thermoreversible, amyloid-like structures that are implicated in the disorder-to-order transition of condensates and phase-programmable materials. Despite their structural versatility, the transiently ordered/disordered conformation and multivalent interactions...
