Non-uniform self-assembly: On the anisotropic architecture of α-synuclein supra-fibrillar aggregates

Although the function of biopolymer hydrogels in nature depends on structural anisotropy at mesoscopic length scales, the self-assembly of such anisotropic structures in vitro is challenging. Here we show that fibrils of the protein α-synuclein spontaneously self-assemble into structurally anisotrop...
