Self-Assembly of Binary Peptide System in the Solid State Induced by the Presence of Environmental Water -An Unusual Case of Ex-Vivo Peptides Cooperation

Key Points

• This research investigates how environmental water affects the self-assembly of a binary peptide system in solid state.
• Analyzed crystallographic forms of peptides during self-assembly in the presence of environmental water.
• Evaluated mutual influences between individual peptide components.
• Self-assembly processes revealed preferred crystallographic forms changed depending on water presence.
• Indications of cooperative interactions between peptides based on altered crystallographic outcomes.
