A lattice protein with an amyloidogenic latent state: stability and folding kinetics.

Abstract excerpt

We have designed a model lattice protein that has two stable folded states, the lower free energy native state and a latent state of somewhat higher energy. The two states have a sizable part of their structures in common (two "alpha-helices") and differ in the content of "alpha-helices" and "beta-strands" in the rest of their structures; i.e. for the native state, this part is alpha-helical, and for the latent...
