Abstract excerpt
Approximately 25% of the λ6 light chains have glycine rather than arginine at position 25, which is an allelic variant of the IGLV6-57 (6a) locus. The Gly25 variant has been shown to decrease the folding stability of the germline λ6 V(L) protein 6aJL2 by 1.7 kcal·mol(-1). In this work, we compared the thermodynamic and fibrillogenic properties of the amyloidosis (AL) derived recombinant (r) V(L) protein AR, which...
