Design of amyloidogenic peptide traps
Nature Chemical Biology, 2023 AbstractSegments of proteins with β-strand propensity can self associate to form amyloid fibrils associated with many diseases. These regions often adopt alternative structures in their folded states, or are intrinsically disordered in solution, making it difficult to generate binders or inhibitors with existing strategies.
