Abstract

Amyloid-like structure formation by various metabolites represents a significant extension of the amyloidogenic building block family. Similar to protein amyloids, metabolite amyloids induce apoptotic toxicity, a process that was linked to membrane association. Here, we demonstrate that metabolite amyloids interact with model membranes and study the mechanism by molecular dynamics.
