Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Membrane Interactions: Effects of Membrane Composition

Amyloid formation by islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) contributes to β-cell dysfunction in type-2 diabetes. Perturbation of the β-cell membrane may contribute to IAPP induced toxicity. We examine the effects of lipid composition, salt and buffer on IAPP amyloid formation and on the ability of IAPP t...
