摘要: Abstract Although the molecular structures of globular proteins are determined uniquely by their amino acid sequences, same is not true amyloid fibrils. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been especially important in elucidating and structural variations within fibrils because these provide detailed site-specific information about conformations intermolecular associations, without requiring crystallinity or solubility. This chapter discusses several examples which solid-state NMR has used to develop full models for characterize molecular-level that underlie polymorphism. The include selected results 40-residue β-amyloid (Aβ1-40) fibrils, formed a disease-associated Aβ1-40 mutant, 15-residue fragment Aβ1-40, yeast prion protein Ure2p.
