Structurally Based Design of Glucagon Mutants that Inhibit Fibril Formation

The peptide hormone glucagon is prescribed as a pharmaceutical compound to treat diabetic hypoglycemia. However, at the acidic pH where it is highly soluble, glucagon rapidly aggregates into inactive and cytotoxic amyloid fibrils. The recently determined high-resolution structure of these fibrils re...
