1. An α-sheet polypeptide multimer, comprising:
two monomeric α-sheet polypeptides that are covalently linked,
wherein each monomeric α-sheet polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of rGeMnLsWmneyyGwTmNmKcGr (SEQ ID NO:25) or its reverse chiral counterpart,
wherein residues in lower-case are D amino acids, residues in upper case are L amino acids, and G residues are achiral.
