Mirror-image peptides form 'rippled sheet' structure predicted in 1953

By mixing a small peptide with equal amounts of its mirror image, a team of scientists at UC Santa Cruz has created an unusual protein structure known as a “rippled beta sheet” and obtained images of it using X-ray crystallography. They reported their findings in a paper published December 8 in Chemical Science.
