Abstract
The assembly and misassembly of normally soluble proteins into fibrilar structures is thought to be a causative agent in a variety of human amyloid and prion diseases. Structural and mechanistic studies of this process are beginning to elucidate the conformational changes required for the conversion of a normally soluble and functional protein into a defined quaternary structure.
