A new 'design rule' that faciliates the synthesis of synthetic protein analogues, called peptide nanosheets, has been discovered. The peptide nanosheets display a flatness that is not observed in nature. It is hoped that exploitation of this new rule will lead to the synthesis of novel biomimetic structures.
