A Simulated Intermediate State for Folding and Aggregation Provides Insights into ΔN6 β(2)-Microglobulin Amyloidogenic Behavior

A major component of ex vivo amyloid plaques of patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is a cleaved variant of β(2)-microglobulin (ΔN6) lacking the first six N-terminal residues. Here we perform a computational study on ΔN6, which provides clues to understand the amyloidogenicity of the fu...
