Table 1.

Secondary structure content of lysozyme in the three different states

Secondary structure Monomers (%) Fibrils (%) Amorphous aggregates (%)
β-sheets 15 79 44
α-helix/random 58 14 29
Loops/turns 28 7 28

The proportions of each secondary structure have been calculated from spectra shown in Fig. 1b, by deconvolution and curve fitting of the Amide I band, according to [20]
