Structural and dynamics evidence for scaffold asymmetric flexibility of the human transthyretin tetramer.

The molecular symmetry of multimeric proteins is generally determined by using X-ray diffraction techniques, so that the basic question as to whether this symmetry is perfectly preserved for the same protein in solution remains open. In this work, human transthyretin (TTR), a homotetrameric plasma t...
