Abstract excerpt
In vivo beta-2 microglobulin (β2m) forms amyloid fibrils that are associated with the disease dialysis-related amyloidosis. Here, electrospray ionisation-ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry has been used to compare the oligomers formed from wild-type β2m with those formed from a variant of the protein containing a single point mutation in the D strand, H51A, during in vitro fibril assembly. Using the...
