Silaffin peptide R5 is key for the biogenesis of silica cell walls of diatoms. Biosilification by the R5 peptide has potential in biotechnology, drug development, and materials science due to its ability to precipitate stable, high fidelity silica sheets and particles. A true barrier for the design of novel peptide-based architectures for wider applications has been the limited understanding of the interfacial structure of R5 when precipitating silica nanoparticles. While R5-silica interactions have been studied in detail at flat surfaces, the structure within nanophase particles is still being debated. We herein elucidate the conformation of R5 in its active form within silica particles by combining interface-specific vibrational spectroscopy data with solid-state NMR torsion angles using theoretical spectra. Our calculations show that R5 is structured and undergoes a conformational transition from a strand-type motif in solution to a more curved, contracted structure when interacting with silica precursors.
