Albumin Alters the Conformational Ensemble of Amyloid-β by Promiscuous Interactions: Implications for Amyloid Inhibition

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a key endogenous inhibitor of amyloid-β (Αβ) aggregation. In vitro HSA inhibits Aβ fibrillization and targets multiple species along the aggregation pathway including monomers, oligomers, and protofibrils. Amyloid inhibition by HSA has both pathological implications and...
