Abstract excerpt
The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a regulatory peptide that can aggregate into fibrillar structures associated with type 2 diabetes. In this study, the IAPP21-27 segment was modified with a biotin linker at the N-terminus (Btn-GNNFGAIL) to immobilize peptide fibrils on streptavidin-coated surfaces. Key residues for fibril formation of the N-terminal biotinylated IAPP21-27 segment were identified by using an...
