Abstract excerpt
Transthyretin (TTR) tetramer dissociation, misfolding and misassembly are required for the process of amyloid fibril formation associated with familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP). Preferential stabilization of the native TTR tetramer over the dissociative transition state by small molecule bind...
