High-speed atomic force microscopy reveals a surface-catalyzed elongation mechanism of the fungal functional amyloid hydrophobin RolA

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 7, February 2026. <br/>SignificanceThe fungal functional amyloid hydrophobin RolA self-assembles into a fibrous form called a rodlet, which functions as a protective coat, but the mechanism of rodlet formation remains largely unknown. Here, we used high-speed atomic force …
