Secondary structure content of eADF assemblies
| Protein assembly | Structure composition, % |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Helical(1648–1664 cm−1) | β-Sheet (1625–1640 and1688–1692 cm−1) | β-Turn(1665–1685 cm−1) | |
| eADF3 | 55 | 18 | 16 |
| eADF3 fiber | 31 | 45 | 25 |
| eADF4 with phosphate | 16 | 63 | 21 |
| eADF3 + eADF4 fiber | 46 | 40 | 13 |
Infrared spectra were analyzed to determine secondary structure composition of the protein assemblies. eADF3 assemblies generally showed more helical structures than eADF4 assemblies, which revealed a high content of β -sheet structures. Fibers of eADF3 and eADF4 showed β -sheet-rich secondary structure (peak at 1,625 cm−1). However, eADF3 fibers revealed a higher relative content of β -sheet structures than the mixed fibers of eADF3 and eADF4. Details of the structure assignment can be found in Fig. S2. Deviations from 100% result from unassigned spectral regions and from rounding errors.
