The N-terminal helix controls the transition between the soluble and amyloid states of an FF domain.
BACKGROUND: Protein aggregation is linked to the onset of an increasing number of human nonneuropathic (either localized or systemic) and neurodegenerative disorders. In particular, misfolding of native α-helical structures and their self-assembly into nonnative intermolecular β-sheets has been prop...
