Fibril formation and therapeutic targeting of amyloid-like structures in a yeast model of adenine accumulation
Small molecule metabolites like phenylalanine can form amyloid-like structures but so far this has only been demonstrated in vitro. Here the authors generate a yeast in vivo model of adenine self-assembly and characterize the adenine assemblies in cells by indicative amyloid dye and anti-adenine ass...
