Cryo-EM structure of a transthyretin-derived amyloid fibril from a patient with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis

Systemic amyloidosis of the ATTR is one of the most abundant forms of systemic amyloidosis and caused by misfolding of the circulating blood protein transthyretin (TTR). Here the authors present the cryo-EM structure of patient-derived Val30Met ATTR amyloid fibrils which reveals that the protofilame...
