Functional analysis of the biomimetic silica precipitating activity of the R5 peptide from Cylindrotheca fusiformis

Abstract

A synthetic site-directed mutagenesis study of the non post-translationally modified silica precipitating R5 peptide reveals that the RRIL motif is critical in the formation of active silica precipitating assemblies.
