Nanostructure and stability of calcitonin amyloids

Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid thyroid hormone that can form amyloid fibrils. The structural basis of the fibril formation and stabilization is still debated and poorly understood. The reason is that NMR data strongly suggest antiparallel β-sheet calcitonin assembly, whereas modeling studies on the s...
