Amyloid beta

Introduction

Amyloids are insoluble fibrous proteins

The most reasonable structure determined structure consists of ; the first helix (residues 8-25) is well defined and has an RMSD of 0.38 angstroms and the second (residues 28-38) is interrupted at the Ile32-Gly33 connection. The two helices are connected by a (residues 26 and 27).
