Background: Ultrasonication effectively breaks supersaturation and forces amyloid fibrillation. Results: A high-throughput analysis of amyloid fibrillation showed that, although the lag time varied depending on the conditions, its coefficient of variation was constant. Conclusion: The large fluctuation in the lag time originates from a process associated with a common amyloidogenic intermediate. Significance: High-throughput analysis is powerful enough to clarify the mechanisms of supersaturation-limited phase transitions of proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
