New Study Confirms ‘Ripple sheet’ Protein Structure Predicted in 1953
An unusual protein structure called a “corrugated beta sheet”, first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using X-ray crystallography. The new findings, published in Chemical Science in July, may enable the rational design of unique materials based on corrugated sheet-like structures. Jevgenij Raskatov, associate professor…
