An Achilles' Heel in an Amyloidogenic Protein and Its Repair: INSULIN FIBRILLATION AND THERAPEUTIC DESIGN

Insulin fibrillation provides a model for a broad class of amyloidogenic diseases. Conformational distortion of the native monomer leads to aggregation-coupled misfolding. Whereas β-cells are protected from proteotoxicity by hexamer assembly, fibrillation limits the storage and use of insulin at ele...
