Abstract excerpt
NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize hydrophobic clusters in amyloidogenic unfolded states of a protein and their implications for amyloid formation. Three local hydrophobic clusters were observed in the amyloidogenic state of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) SH3 domain. Our NMR studies showed that residues with high average area buried upon folding (AABUF) parameter collapsed to form the clusters....
