AMYCO: evaluation of mutational impact on prion-like proteins aggregation propensity
14 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Around 1% of human proteins are predicted to contain a disordered and low complexity prion-like domain (PrLD). Mutations in PrLDs have been shown promote a transition towards an aggregation-prone state in several diseases. RESULTS: Recently, we have shown that an algorithm that considers the effects of mutations on PrLDs composition, as well as on localized amyloid propensity can predict the impact of...
