Abstract
The fibrillogenesis of a peptide corresponding to residues 35-51 of human α-lactalbumin (¹GYDTQAIVENNESTEYG¹⁷) can be dramatically enhanced by the addition of a tetrapeptide TDYG homologous to its C-terminus (TEYG). Generation of spontaneous hydrolytic products similar to this peptide was demonstrated by mass-spectrometry analysis of GYDTQAIVENNESTEYG peptide solution components during fibrillogenesis. Possible mechanisms and roles of short peptides in protein metabolism are discussed.Entities:
