Conformational switching within dynamic oligomers underpins toxic gain-of-function by diabetes-associated amyloid

Peptide mediated gain-of-toxic function is central to pathology in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and diabetes. In each system, self-assembly into oligomers is observed and can also result in poration of artificial membranes. Structural requirements for poration and the relationship of structure to cytoto...
