Abstract excerpt
The polymorphic property of amyloid structures has been focused on as a molecular basis of the presence and propagation of different phenotypes of amyloid diseases, although little is known about the molecular mechanism for expressing diverse structures from only one protein sequence. Here, we have found that, in combination with an enhancing effect of ultrasonication on nucleation, β(2)-microglobulin, a protein...
