Abstract excerpt
The role of amino acid side chain oxidation in the formation of amyloid assemblies has been investigated. Chemical oxidation of amino acid side chains has been used as a facile method of introducing mutations on protein structures. Oxidation promotes changes within tertiary contacts that enable identification of residues and interactions critical in stabilizing protein structures. Transthyretin (TTR) is a soluble...
