Abstract excerpt
Amyloid formation by immunoglobulin light chain (LC) proteins is associated with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Destabilization of the native state of the variable domain of the LC (VL) is known to be one of the critical factors in promoting the formation of amyloid fibrils. However, determining the key residues involved in this destabilization remains challenging, because of the existence of a number of...
