Abstract excerpt
Wild-type and variant transthyretins form amyloid fibrils in two different diseases. The biologically active form of transthyretin is a tetramer but there is evidence that a monomeric species is the amyloidogenic intermediate. Using mass spectrometry we have developed an approach to monitor the proportions of monomer and tetramer in wild-type and variant transthyretins, and found a strong correlation between the...
