Screening transthyretin amyloid fibril inhibitors: characterization of novel multiprotein, multiligand complexes by mass spectrometry.

Tetrameric transthyretin is involved in transport of thyroxine and, through its interactions with retinol binding protein, vitamin A. Dissociation of these structures is widely accepted as the first step in the formation of transthyretin amyloid fibrils. Using a mass spectrometric approach, we have...
