TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Amyloid structure – one but not the same: the many levels of fibrillar polymorphism

Many proteins and peptides can form amyloid-like structures bothin vivo andin vitro. Although strikingly similar fibrillar structures can be observed across a variety of amino acid sequences, the fibrils formed often exhibit a stunning wealth of polymorphisms at the level of electron or atomic force microscopy. | ỊFEBS Journal MINIREVIEW Amyloid structure - one but not the same the many levels of fibrillar polymorphism Jesper S.

Although strikingly similar fibrillar structures can be observed across a variety of amino acid sequences the fibrils formed often exhibit a stunning wealth of polymorphisms at the level of electron or atomic force microscopy. This appears to violate the Anfinsen principle seen for globular proteins where each protein sequence codes for just one well-defined fold. To a large extent polymorphism reflects variable packing of a single protofilament structure in the mature fibrils. However we and others have recently demonstrated that polymorphism can also reflect real structural differences in the molecular packing of the polypeptide .
