Abstract:A growing body of evidences has established that in many cases proteins may preserve most of their function and flexibility in a crystalline environment, and several techniques are today capable to detect transiently-populated states of macromolecules in tightly packed lattices. Intriguingly, in the case of amyloidogenic precursors, the presence of these conformations (hidden to conventional crystallographic studies) can be correlated to the pathological fate of the native fold.It remains unclear, however, to … Show more
