Figure 2

Typical shape of the kinetics of hIAPP fibril formation, characterized by a lag phase and a sigmoidal transition. The approximate aggregation state of IAPP is indicated at the various time points. Fibril formation was induced by adding, at time 0, a monomeric stock solution of hIAPP in DMSO to buffer containing Thioflavin T.
