Abstract excerpt
Amyloidogenesis of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) within or surrounding secretory beta-cells of pancreas has long been related to the pathology of type II diabetes. Insulin, coexpressed and cosecreted with hIAPP in vivo, has the capacity of interacting with hIAPP and further inhibiting the amyloid deposition of the peptide. On the basis of the reported experimental data, we conducted replica exchange...
