Abstract excerpt
The amyloid pathology associated with long-term haemodialysis is due to the deposition of β2-microglobulin, the non-polymorphic light chain of class I major histocompatibility complex, that accumulates at bone joints into amyloid fibrils. Several lines of evidence show the relevance of the tryptophan residue at position 60 for the fibrillogenic transition of the protein. A comparative (15)N NMR relaxation...
