Intrinsic versus mutation dependent instability/flexibility: a comparative analysis of the structure and dynamics of wild-type transthyretin and its pathogenic variants.

Abstract excerpt

Transthyretin (TTR) is one of the about 20 known human proteins associated with amyloidosis which is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in tissues or extracellular matrix surrounding vital organs. Unlike Alzheimer's fibrils that comprise a fragment of a large precursor protein, TTR amyloid fibrils are composed of both full-length protein and fragments of the molecule. The native state of TTR is...
