Cryo-EM structure and inhibitor design of human IAPP (amylin) fibrils

Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) functions as a glucose-regulating hormone, but deposits as amyloid fibrils in more than 90% of Type-II Diabetes (T2D) patients. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of recombinant full-length hIAPP fibrils. The fibril is composed of two symmetrically related p...
