Abstract excerpt
The conformational dynamics of a pathogenic κ4 human immunoglobulin light-chain variable domain, SMA, associated with AL amyloidosis, were investigated by 15N relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy. Compared to a homologous light-chain, LEN, which differs from SMA at eight positions but is non-amyloidogenic in vivo, we find that multiple residues in SMA clustered around the N-terminus and CDR loops experience...
