Figure 7

Simultaneous parallel and antiparallel hydrophobic packing. Crystal structure of designed β-peptide61 is shown; parallel dimer pairs are in blue and green. (a) β-peptide sequence mapped onto helical wheel. (b) Full octomeric structure, highlighting the parallel monomer chains within each subunit (hydrophobic packing of leucine and phenylalanine shown in pink). (c) Parallel helical interface with leucine packing highlighted. Also shown: top view, helical wheel. (d) Antiparallel helical interface with leucine packing highlighted. Also shown: top view, helical wheel.
