Abstract excerpt
Hereditary apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) amyloidosis is a life-threatening incurable genetic disorder whose molecular underpinnings are unclear. In this disease, variant apoA-I, the major structural and functional protein of high-density lipoprotein, is released in a free form, undergoes an α-helix to intermolecular cross-β-sheet conversion along with a proteolytic cleavage, and is deposited as amyloid fibrils in...
