Understanding of amyloid aggregation in terms of thermodynamics and kinetics is still limited. We herein examined the mechanism of β2-microglobulin amyloidogenesis using our unique method of isothermal titration calorimetry-based thermodynamic/kinetic measurements, and revealed the energy landscape of polymorphic amyloidogenesis under biological environment-mimicking conditions including shear forces and crowding effects.
尽管人们对淀粉样蛋白聚集的热力学和动力学理解仍有限,但我们通过使用等温滴定量热法(ITC)进行热力学/动力学测量的独特方法,研究了β2-微球蛋白淀粉样蛋白形成的机制,并揭示了在模拟生物环境的条件下,包括剪切力和拥挤效应下,多晶型淀粉样蛋白形成的能量景观。
