Amyloidogenic propensity of a natural variant of human apolipoprotein A-I: stability and interaction with ligands.

A number of naturally occurring mutations of human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) have been associated with hereditary amyloidoses. The molecular mechanisms involved in amyloid-associated pathology remain largely unknown. Here we examined the effects of the Arg173Pro point mutation in apoA-I on the str...
