In this work we present a computational approach to the design of nanostructures made of structural motifs taken from left-handed beta-helical proteins. Previously, we suggested a structural model based on the self-assembly of motifs taken from Escherichia coli galactoside acetyltransferase (Protein Data Bank 1krr, chain A, residues 131-165, denoted krr1), which produced a very stable nanotube in molecular dynamics simulations. Here we modify this model by changing the charge distribution in the ...[more]
