Recent publications strongly support the hypothesis that conformational changes in
amyloidogenic proteins lead to amyloid fibril formation and cause disease. Biophysical
studies on several amyloidogenic proteins provide insights into the conformational changes
required for fibrilogenesis. In addition, newly available moderate to high resolution structural
studies are bringing us closer to understanding the structure of amyloid.
