Abstract excerpt
beta(2)-Microglobulin (beta2-m), a light chain of the major histocompatibility complex type I, is also found as a major component of amyloid fibrils formed in dialysis-related amyloidosis. Denaturation of beta2-m is considered to initiate the formation of fibrils. To clarify the mechanism of fibril formation, it is important to characterize the intermediate conformational states at the atomic level. Here, we...
