Tau local structure shields an amyloid-forming motif and controls aggregation propensity
The biophysical mechanisms of how disease-associated tau mutations drive amyloid formation are not well understood. Here the authors use biophysical approaches, cell models and MD simulations and find that the intrinsically disordered repeat domain of tau encodes a metastable local structure and per...
