Cryo-EM reveals structural breaks in a patient-derived amyloid fibril from systemic AL amyloidosis

Systemic AL amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease caused by the aggregation and fibrillation of immunoglobulin light chains (LCs). Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of λ3 LC-derived amyloid fibrils that were isolated from patient tissue and they observe structural breaks, where...
