Inhibition by small-molecule ligands of formation of amyloid fibrils of an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain

Overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains leads to systemic amyloidosis, a lethal disease characterized by the formation of amyloid fibrils in patients' tissues. Excess light chains are in equilibrium between dimers and less stable monomers which can undergo irreversible aggregation to the...
