AFM images of RADA16-I nanofi bers at various time points after sonication. The obser-
vations were made using AFM immediately after sample preparation. (

elongation and reassembly of the peptide nanofi bers over time. By ~1-2 h, these self-assembling
peptide nanofi bers have nearly fully reassembled
