Selenomethionine Incorporation into Amyloid Sequences Regulates Fibrillogenesis and Toxicity

BACKGROUND: The capacity of a polypeptide chain to engage in an amyloid formation process and cause a conformational disease is contained in its sequence. Some of the sequences undergoing fibrillation contain critical methionine (Met) residues which in vivo can be synthetically substituted by seleno...
