Mechanistic modeling of amyloid oligomer and protofibril formation

K. Yuzu, H. Imamura, T. Nozaki, Y. Fujii, S. M. M. Badawy, K. Morishima, A. Okuda, R. Inoue, M. Sugiyama, E. Chatani

This study establishes a mechanistic model of amyloid oligomer and protofibril formation in bovine insulin using light scattering and kinetic analysis, revealing end-to-end association as the rate-limiting step.

Multistep changes in amyloid structure that are induced by cross-seeding on a rugged energy landscape

K. Yuzu, N. Yamamoto, M. Noji, M. So, Y. Goto, T. Iwasaki, M. Tsubaki, E. Chatani

This study investigates how cross-seeding of insulin amyloid fibrils from different species leads to structural changes and new amyloid forms with distinct properties.

Iodine staining as a useful probe for distinguishing amyloid fibril polymorphs

T. Hiramatsu, N. Yamamoto, S. Ha, Y. Masuda, M. Yasuda, M. Ishigaki, K. Yuzu, Y. Ozaki, E. Chatani

The paper demonstrates that iodine staining can distinguish amyloid fibril polymorphs by color differences, linked to specific iodine binding sites and surface structures.
