Abstract
Amyloid fibrils are highly organized protein filaments that can be used as novel biomaterials. In this study, we show that proteins could be selectively induced to form amyloid fibrils at room temperature by the introduction of imidazolium salts, which could trigger the self-assembly process with their hydrophobic and ionic properties.
