Why is Leu55→Pro55 transthyretin variant the most amyloidogenic: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations of transthyretin monomers

Transthyretin (TTR) is one of the known human amyloidogenic proteins. Its native state is a homotetramer with each monomer having a β-sandwich structure. Strong experimental evidence suggests that TTR dissociates into monomeric intermediates and that the monomers subsequently self-assemble to form a...
