Abstract excerpt
We report here the identification of the key sites for the beta structure motifs of the islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) analogs by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Duplex folding structures in human IAPP(8-37) (hIAPP(8-37)) assembly were observed featuring a hairpin structure. The multiplicity in rIAPP assembly structures indicates the polydispersity of the rat IAPP(8-37) (rIAPP(8-37)) beta-like...
