Intermolecular β-strand networks avoid hub residues and favor low interconnectedness: a potential protection mechanism against chain dissociation upon mutation.

Altogether few protein oligomers undergo a conformational transition to a state that impairs their function and leads to diseases. But when it happens, the consequences are not harmless and the so-called conformational diseases pose serious public health problems. Notorious examples are the Alzheime...
