Abstract
This chapter intends to review the progress in obtaining site-specific structural information for peptide assemblies using scanning tunneling microscopy. The effects on assembly propensity due to mutations and modifications in peptide sequences, small organic molecules and conformational transitions of peptides are identified. The obtained structural insights into the sequence-dependent assembly propensity could inspire rational design of peptide architectures at the molecular level.
