Identification of transmissible proteotoxic oligomer-like fibrils that expand conformational diversity of amyloid assemblies
Nguyen et al identified cytotoxic amyloid fibrils with oligomer-like characteristics, which were assembled from an islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) derivative containing an Asn-to-Gln substitution (N21Q). They presented evidence to show that these stable fibrils expand the conformational diversity o...
