Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein S6 fibrillates readily at slightly elevated temperatures and acidic pH. We find that S6 fibrillation is retarded rather than favored when the protein concentration is increased above a threshold concentration of around 3.5mg/mL. We name this threshold concentration C(FR), the concentration at which fibrillation is retarded. Our data are consistent with a model in which this inhibition is due to...
