Abstract excerpt
Light chain amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. This disease is caused by the formation and deposition of amyloid fibers made from immunoglobulin light chains. Environmental conditions such as pH and temperature can affect protein structure and induce the development of these fibers. Several studies have shed light on the native state, stability, dynamics, and final amyloid state of these...
