Characterization of the nanoscale properties of individual amyloid fibrils

We report the detailed mechanical characterization of individual amyloid fibrils by atomic force microscopy and spectroscopy. These self-assembling materials, formed here from the protein insulin, were shown to have a strength of 0.6 ± 0.4 GPa, comparable to that of steel (0.6–1.8 GPa), and a mechan...
