abstract：:Human transthyretin (TTR) is an amyloidogenic protein. The pathway of TTR amyloid formation has been proposed based on lines of evidence: TTR tetramer first dissociates into native monomers, which is shown to be a rate-limiting step in the formation of fibrils. Subsequently, the monomeric species partially unfold to f...
