A simulated intermediate state for folding and aggregation provides insights into ΔN6 β2-microglobulin amyloidogenic behavior.

A major component of ex vivo amyloid plaques of patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is a cleaved variant of β2-microglobulin (ΔN6) lacking the first six N-terminal residues. Here we perform a computational study on ΔN6, which provides clues to understand the amyloidogenicity of the full...
