- Abstract:
-
Amyloid fibrils are typically rigid, unbranched structures with diameters of approximately 10 nm and lengths up to several micrometres, and are associated with more than 20 diseases including Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes. Insulin is a small, predominantly alpha-helical protein consisting of 51 residues in two disulfide-linked polypeptide chains that readily assembles into amyloid fibrils under conditions of low pH and elevated temperature. We demonstrate here that both the A-chain...
