Nanomechanical Characterization of Amyloid Fibrils Using Single-Molecule Experiments and Computational Simulations

Figure 9

Three different structural types of amyloid fibrils. Amyloid fibrils can be formed based on (a) stacked -sheets, (b) -helices, or (c) stacked -helices. Figures are redrawn using VMD package for these three types of structures, whose information is provided in the protein data bank (PDB) with PDB codes of 2LNQ, 1P9H, and 2KJ3, respectively.
