Figure 14.5 Proposed model of (a) antiparallel b-sheet orientation within nanofibers when
viewed perpendicular to the b-sheets plane and (b) the cross section. Amino acid side
chains are represented as spheres and Ala-7 and Leu-14 are marked by crosses. Reprinted

Figure 14.6 Structural arrangement of peptides (a and c) 1 (EIAQLEYEISQLEQ) and (b and
d) 3 (EIAYLEQEISQLEQ) in the coiled coil or amyloid-like b-sheet packing motifs. Amino
acids are represented with upper case standard single letter code whereas position in the heptad
repeat is indicated in lower case italic. Reprinted from Dong and Hartgerink (2007). Copyright
