Abstract excerpt
Increased plasma levels of serum amyloid A (SAA), an acute-phase protein that is secreted in response to inflammation, may lead to the accumulation of amyloid in various organs thereby obstructing their functions. Severe cases can lead to a systemic disorder called AA amyloidosis. Previous studies suggest that the N-terminal helix is the most amyloidogenic region of SAA. Moreover, computational studies implicated...
