Single-residue physicochemical characteristics kinetically partition membrane protein self-assembly and aggregation.

Abstract excerpt

Ninety-five percent of all transmembrane proteins exist in kinetically trapped aggregation-prone states that have been directly linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, the primary sequence almost invariably avoids off-pathway aggregate formation, by folding reliably into its native, thermodynamically stabilized structure. However, with the rising incidence of protein aggregation diseases, it is now...
