Figures & data

Figure 1 The amyloid sequence pattern used to detect amyloid stretches in proteins. PROSITE syntax (www.expasy.org/prosite/). ‘[ ]’residues allowed at the position; ‘{ }’ residues forbidden at the position; ‘-’ separates each pattern element.

Figure 2 Amyloid formation by the different N-terminus α-SH3 variants. All the proteins were incubated under similar conditions (pH 2.6, c ∼ 300 µM, t = 3 months and room temperature). 2-SH was assayed only at the lowest concentration (c ∼ 100 µM) because of solubility problems. r.t.: room temperature.
