Distinct annular oligomers captured along the assembly and disassembly pathways of transthyretin amyloid protofibrils.
BACKGROUND: Defects in protein folding may lead to severe degenerative diseases characterized by the appearance of amyloid fibril deposits. Cytotoxicity in amyloidoses has been linked to poration of the cell membrane that may involve interactions with amyloid intermediates of annular shape. Although...
