Does the location of a mutation determine the ability to form amyloid fibrils?

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported studies of fibril formation by a set of protein G B1 domain (beta1) variants, with mutations located around the central parallel beta-strands. In this study, we designed multiple mutations in the edge strands of beta1 to create proteins with a stability range comparable to that of the set of central mutants. All the edge variants are able to form amyloid fibrils when they are incubated...
