The intriguing crystal organization of the domain-swapped dimer of a human pancreatic ribonuclease variant indicates that the protein can form fibrils in solution. They were observed and characterized by atomic force microscopy. The importance of domain swapping in inducing native-like fibril formation is highlighted.

Abstract
The intriguing crystal organization of the domain-swapped dimer of a human pancreatic ribonuclease variant indicates that the protein can form fibrils in solution. They were observed and characterized by atomic force microscopy. The importance of domain swapping in inducing native-like fibril formation is highlighted.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
