Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of transthyretin (TTR) is associated with devastating amyloid diseases. Amyloidosis begins with the dissociation of the native homotetramer (a dimer of dimers) to form a monomeric intermediate that assembles into pathogenic aggregates. This process is accelerated in vitro at low pH, but the process by which TTR dissociates and reassembles at neutral pH remains poorly characterized due to the low...
