The Human LL-37(17-29) antimicrobial peptide reveals a functional supramolecular structure

Here, we demonstrate the self-assembly of the antimicrobial human LL-37 active core (residues 17–29) into a protein fibril of densely packed helices. The surface of the fibril encompasses alternating hydrophobic and positively charged zigzagged belts, which likely underlie interactions with and subs...
