Abstract
Using NMR to probe transient binding of A?1-40 monomers to fibers, we find partially bound conformations with the highest degree of interaction near F19-K28 and a lesser degree of interaction near the C-terminus (L34-G37). This represents a shift away from the KLVFFA recognition sequence (residues 16-21) currently used for inhibitor design.
