Amyloidogenic regions and interaction surfaces overlap in globular proteins related to conformational diseases.

Protein aggregation underlies a wide range of human disorders. The polypeptides involved in these pathologies might be intrinsically unstructured or display a defined 3D-structure. Little is known about how globular proteins aggregate into toxic assemblies under physiological conditions, where they...
