Structural Insights into Functional and Pathological Amyloid

Abstract

Amyloid is traditionally viewed as a consequence of protein misfolding and aggregation and is most notorious for its association with debilitating and chronic human diseases. However, a growing list of examples of "functional amyloid" challenges this bad reputation and indicates that many organisms can employ the biophysical properties of amyloid for their benefit. Because of developments in the structural studies of amyloid, a clearer picture is emerging about what defines amyloid structure and the properties that unite functional and pathological amyloids. Here, we review various amyloids and place them within the framework of the latest structural models.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
