Amyloid formation under physiological conditions proceeds via a native-like folding intermediate.

Abstract excerpt

Although most proteins can assemble into amyloid-like fibrils in vitro under extreme conditions, how proteins form amyloid fibrils in vivo remains unresolved. Identifying rare aggregation-prone species under physiologically relevant conditions and defining their structural properties is therefore an important challenge. By solving the folding mechanism of the naturally amyloidogenic protein beta-2-microglobulin...
