Peptides provide a framework for generating functional biopolymers. In this study, the pH-dependent structural changes in the 21-29 fragment peptide of β2-microglobulin (β2m21-29) during self-aggregation, i.e., the formation of an amyloid fibril, were discussed. The β-sheet structures formed during parallel stacking under basic conditions (pH ≥ 7.7) adopted an anti-parallel stacking configuration under acidic conditions (pH ≤ 7.6). The parallel and anti-parallel β-sheets existed separately at the intermediate pH (pH = 7.6-7.7). These results were attributed to the rigidity of the β-sheets in the fibrils, which prevented the stable hydrogen bonding interactions between the parallel and anti-parallel β-sheet moieties. This observed pH dependence was ascribed to two phenomena: (i) the pH-dependent collapse of the β2m21-29 fibrils, which consisted of 16 ± 3 anti-parallel β-sheets containing a total of 2000 β-strands during the deprotonation of the NH3+ group (pKa = 8.0) of the β-strands that occurred within 0.7 ± 0.2 strands of each other and (ii) the subsequent formation of the parallel β-sheets. We propose a framework for a functional biopolymer that could alternate between the two β-sheet structures in response to pH changes.
