Foldamer-mediated manipulation of a pre-amyloid toxin
Intrinsically disordered proteins that form amyloid fibrils are hard to target with traditional therapeutic approaches. Here, the authors report on an oligoquinoline derivative that binds the human islet amyloid polypeptide, stabilising an alpha-helical structure that reduces its cellular toxicity.
