Aprotinin binding to amyloid fibrils.

Abstract excerpt

Different low molecular mass ligands have been used to identify amyloid deposits. Among these markers, the dyes Thioflavin T and Congo Red interact specifically with the beta-sheet structure arranged in a cross-beta conformation, which is characteristic of amyloid. However, the molecular details of this interaction remain unknown. When labelled with technetium-99m, the proteinase inhibitor aprotinin has been...
