Figure 1. aPP structure.

Figure 1

(A) aPP backbone (lightest gray) has a hydrophobic core created by three prolines located on the poly-proline helix (medium gray) and various residues on the α-helix (dark gray). (B) aPP’s internal hydrogen bond network, highlighted in dashed lines, is responsible for the impressive structural stabilization of a peptide that is just 36 amino acids long.
