Figure 5. Schematic representation of the catalytic assembly mechanism of CMD in promoting the assembly of KE. (A) The complexation of CMD and KE molecules resulted in the formation of coacervate droplets, and promoted the conformational transition of peptides fromα -helix to β -strand. Then β -strand monomers assembled into fibrils by expelling CMD through phase separation. (B) The proposed assembly equation of KE catalyzed by CMD.
