Abstract excerpt
Seeding a protein solution with preformed fibrils can dramatically enhance the growth rate of amyloids. As the seeds do not need to be of the same protein, seeding may account for the observed correlations between amyloid diseases. In an effort to understand better the molecular mechanisms behind cross seeding we have studied in silico the effect of mutations on the seeding of amylin fibrils. Our investigations...
