Self-assembly of short de novo designed peptides gives rise to catalytic amyloids capable of
facilitating multiple chemical transformations. We show that catalytic amyloids can efficiently
hydrolyze paraoxon, which is a widely used, highly toxic organophosphate pesticide.
Moreover, these robust and inexpensive metal-containing materials can be easily deposited
on various surfaces, producing catalytic flow devices. Finally, functional promiscuity of
catalytic amyloids promotes tandem hydrolysis/oxidation reactions. High efficiency …
Self-assembly of short de novo designed peptides gives rise to catalytic amyloids capable of facilitating multiple chemical transformations. We show that catalytic amyloids can efficiently hydrolyze paraoxon, which is a widely used, highly toxic organophosphate pesticide. Moreover, these robust and inexpensive metal-containing materials can be easily deposited on various surfaces, producing catalytic flow devices. Finally, functional promiscuity of catalytic amyloids promotes tandem hydrolysis/oxidation reactions. High efficiency discovered in a very small library of peptides suggests an enormous potential for further improvement of catalytic properties, both in terms of catalytic efficiency and substrate scope.
