Abstract excerpt
Transthyretin (TTR) is an amyloidogenic protein whose aggregation is responsible for numerous familial amyloid diseases, the exact phenotype being dependent on the sequence deposited. Many familial disease variants display decreased stability in vitro, and early onset pathology in vivo. Only subtle structural differences were observed upon crystallographic comparison of the disease-associated variants to the...
