 Amyloid fibrils are self-assembled filamentous structures associated with protein deposition conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Using solid state NMR, we have determined the first structure of a peptide in a fibril as shown in the figures above. |
