Amyloid diseases are linked to the formation and persistence of large, multimeric structures in
various tissues. Amyloid fibrils are characterized by a cross-beta scaffold in which identical
protein molecules mate tightly as beta-strands to form a long, unbranched fibril1,2. Before
amyloid-forming proteins assemble into fibrils, they can display a globular fold, requiring partial
or total unfolding to convert into an amyloid state3,4. Debilitating ne...
