Abstract excerpt
α(1)-Antitrypsin, the archetypal member of the serpin superfamily, is a metastable protein prone to polymerization when exposed to stressors such as elevated temperature, low denaturant concentrations or through the presence of deleterious mutations which, in a physiological context, are often associated with disease. Experimental evidence suggests that α(1)-Antitrypsin can polymerize via several alternative...
