GNNQQNY Amyloid Fiber:cross- spine Nelson, et al. Structure of the cross -spine of amyloid-like fibrils. Nature 435, 773-778 (9 June 2005)
Amyloid Unknowns -- Lots! • Universal structure or milieu of structures with a common theme? • Mechanism of toxicity? • Mechanisms of in vivo control? • Are all amyloids detrimental or are some beneficial? (Lindquist & Kandel) • Species barriers and strains? • Preventatives/drugs?
