Helical antimicrobial peptides assemble into protofibril scaffolds that present ordered dsDNA to TLR9
Amphihelical antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are bactericidal host defense factors, but their function as immunomodulators is emerging. Here the authors show that several AMPs organize DNA into periodic nanocrystals by self-assembling into superhelical protofibril scaffolds, which potentiates DNA sens...
