Abstract excerpt
The missense mutation S20G in the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is supposed to be associated with the early onset of type II diabetes (T2DM) in Asian population. How such a single-point mutation induces variation of the conformation distribution and the amyloidogenic properties of hIAPP is still unknown. We studied the conformational ensembles of hIAPP segment 15-27 in both wild type and the S20G mutant...
