AlphaFold modeling uncovers global structural features of class I and class II fungal hydrophobins
Abstract Hydrophobins are a family of small fungal proteins that self‐assemble at hydrophobic–hydrophilic interfaces. Hydrophobins not only play crucial roles in filamentous fungal growth and development but also have attracted substantial attention due to their unique material properties.
